📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Two Peas In A Pod. The Atlantic 10 thought two Spider soccer players did great this week, and we would have to agree.

Taylor Montague earned Atlantic 10 Conference Defensive Player of the Week as she led the team to two complete shutouts. She had six saves on 22 shots and got her ninth and 10th career shutouts.

Gwen Howell earned the Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week as she made her collegiate debut and first collegiate start. She played all 90 minutes on the back line in the game against the Lancers and Nevada.
