CLINTON, Miss. --- The Mississippi College women's soccer team will be back on the road this weekend in a pair of Gulf South Conference matches. First they will travel to face Montevallo on Friday Oct. 19 and then finish the trip at Auburn Montgomery on Sunday Oct. 21.

MC NOTES
- The Lady Choctaws will bring into the weekend an overall record of 11-1-0 and a record of 9-0-0 in GSC play.
- MC is coming off a pair of 1-0 victories this past weekend over West Georgia and Valdosta State. The game winners were scored by Lauren Smith and Emma Claire Furman and both goals came past the 80^th minute of play.
- Furman, with her game winner, became the team's leading goal scorer netting 5 on the season so far. Unfortunately for the Lady Choctaws the team's second leading goal scorer Jess Davenport went down with a season ending injury in last Sunday's match against Valdosta State.
- With Davenport out, the Lady Choctaws will look for Smith, Furman, Captain's Katie Taylor and Samantha Carson along with Rita Okoro to pick up the slack offensively.
- Defensively the Lady Choctaws have been solid all year thanks to the back line lead by Liza Wise, Gaylynn Cooper and Scarlett Hodges. In addition to the back line, Gabby Kayser has been phenomenal in goal.
- Overall Kayser has had an impressive season to this point, posting six shutouts with 38 saves and has only allowed two goals in GSC play. She was named GSC Defender of the Week for a second time this season for her efforts against West Georgia and Valdosta State.
