It was a busy weekend for both the women’s soccer and volleyball teams, and both performed admirably. Plus, the
field hockey team got their season underway while a former Villanovan brought home some impressive hardware from Europe.
- Senior Kelly Eagan scored with just over a minute left in double-overtime to help the women’s soccer team defeat Virginia Tech 2-1 on Friday. It was the 5th game-winning goal of Eagan’s career.
- The late game heroics didn’t end there for the women’s soccer team, however, as sophomore Katie Ryan scored with less than 9 seconds remaining tie the game 2-2 vs. Nebraska on Sunday before the teams played to a stalemate in overtime. The women’s soccer team is now 2-0-1 on the season.
- Former Villanova rower Megan Walsh won a silver medal this past weekend at the World Championships when her team finished 2nd in the women’s quad race. Walsh rowed bow, and her team finished just 3 seconds off the pace.
- The field hockey team began their season with a 7-1 loss to #16 Old Dominion. Dana Ramsden had the lone goal for the Wildcats in the opening stages of the game.
- The women’s volleyball team won the Maryland Invitational this past weekend by winning all 3 of its matches. First, they defeated Youngstown State 3-1 on Friday before holding off Stony Brook 3-2 on Saturday. And finally they swept Maryland 3-0 on Sunday. Sophomore Megan Petkovich was named Tournament MVP while classmate Maggie Mergen and Kim Maroon earned a spot on the All-Tournament squad.
Finally, here’s a very heart warming story about senior LB Osayi Osunde, and what he and his family have gone through that has helped make him the man he is today.
