BANIA TO KONYA: The connection between sophomores
Bania Duran and
Konya Plummer has proved to be a formidable one thus far in 2017. Of Plummer's four goals this season, three have been assisted by Duran. Plummer has found the back of the net in three consecutive games and has made the most of her scoring chances. Of her 12 shot attempts of the season, eight have been on frame. The center back from Epsom, St. Mary, Jamaica helps bolster the SEU back line that recorded its fifth shutout of the season versus JWU.
KANUSUAL SUSPECTS: Sophomore forward
Uchenna Kanu continued her season point streak, earning a goal and a helper in the win over JWU. The score on Saturday marked the 25
th goal of her collegiate career through just 15 games played. Kanu leads The Sun Conference in goals (12), points (30), and is second in assists (6). She is also a top 10 performer in each category at the national level.
PREVIOUS WEBBER: The Fire handled the Warriors 4-0 at home last season. Southeastern trails the all-time series versus Webber 9-3, although SEU has won two of the last three contests.
THE WARRIORS: Webber International is off to their first 4-0 start since joining the NAIA. WIU is also a perfect 2-0 in conference play after a forfeit win over Florida Memorial, followed by a 4-1 defeat of rival Warner. Freshman forward Madison Pike has paved the way for the Warriors' nice start. The Lake Wales native has netted four of the six goals scored by WIU. Senior forward Laura Borders, who is also an outfielder for the Webber softball team, is coming off a two goal, one assist outing versus the Royals.
FIRE FACTS:
- Kanu turned in a five point performance (2 G, 1 A) versus WIU last season. Duran also found the back of the net while Nicole Shaffer and Shayna Cole earned assists.
- A shutout versus the Warriors would be the 20th for senior goalkeeper Sydni Brookhouser in her career.
- Head Coach Randy Belli is 10-1 in Sun Conference action all-time.
