🔼 Double Dose. Tomorrow, we’ve got ✌️ squads in action as both soccer teams hit the field for Thursday afternoon showdowns.

The men’s squad plays host to Rider at Higgins Soccer Complex in a 4 pm contest, while the women travel south for a road battle with #10 Wake Forest at 5 pm.

🔼 Raising The Bar. One thing is for sure, Maddy Siegrist is making up for lost time. After missing almost two months due to injury, the former ‘Cat has returned on a mission as the 2025 WNBA season winds down. This week, Siegrist set a new career-high, pouring in 23 points against the Las Vegas Aces. It marked her second 20+ game in the past three outings. Since returning, Siegrist is averaging 16.2 ppg, while shooting 62-percent from the field.
