KNIGHT WATCH
After earning PacWest Player of the Week Sept. 10, senior midfielder Alice Michell is your Knight to watch. Michell has three goals in as many games, which leads the PacWest conference in total goals. She also collected an assist against Western Oregon for a total of seven points in just one week. Freshman Avica Robings is coming off her first ever collegiate goal coming against William Jessup. Look for the young talent to continue her successful first year.

CYCLONES STORM RAGES
Mills College  comes into the match winless on four attempts, most recently suffering a loss to Northwest Christian 4-0. The teams have met on one historic occasion, with Academy of Art putting up the most goals in program history with ten. They also did not concede a single goal to the Cyclones.     

CALIFORNIA MARITIME RISES FROM THE KEEL
California Maritime will open their season against Academy of Art. This is the first meeting between the Keelhaulers, voted as one of the top 25 nicknames in intercollegiate athletics, and the Urban Knights.

SUNBIRDS SEARCH FOR FIRST WIN
Fresno Pacific is still searching for their first win and currently sit at 0-4-1. Their one tie came against Central Washington (1-1)  in their first game of the season. Three Sunbirds lead the team in points with one goal: Tori De Leon, Whitney Snow, and Mackenzie Reynolds. ART U is winless against FPU in career meetings with a record of 0-6-1. In their most recent meeting the Sunbirds defeated the Urban Knights 3-0.

URBAN KNIGHTS CONTINUE WINNING WAYS
The 2018 Academy of Art women's soccer team is currently experiencing their greatest start in program history. A team has never started a season 3-1, let alone 2-1, since the inception of the program. ART U collected their record breaking win on their first match at their new home: Paul Goode Field. They defeated William Jessup University 2-1, on a goal from freshman midfielder Avica Robings and red hot senior midfielder Alice Michell, who now has three goals in the past week.

LOOKING AHEAD
After the pair of games, Academy of Art wraps their non-conference portion of the schedule. The Urban Knights will head into conference play versus Fresno Pacific Monday Sept. 17, then take on Dominican Saturday Sept. 22.
