Los Angeles, CA – The Occidental women's soccer team honored and celebrated their seniors: #0 Maggie Baird, #4 Caroline Kearney, #8 Rosi Plaschinski Saltzberg, #16 Kyra Bethune, #17 Chloe Hetzel, and #25 Olivia Haga. The friends and family of the seniors crowded the stands to show their love and support for their amazing athletes on this special day. Each senior will truly be missed next season, except Hetzel, who will be returning next season to finish what she started this year before her knee injury. 

The Tigers played with aggression, strength, and fluidity. Although the game was scoreless, the Tigers persisted until time ran out. There were a few close calls for the Leopards when both Madi Delmonte and Morgan Miller came very close to landing one in the back of their net. The Tigers landed 12 shots against the Leopards with Clare Madden leading the team with 3. 

La Verne came out extremely aggressive and also came close to a few goals. Miranda McGarry led the Leopards with 3 out of the 8 shots at the Tiger net.

The Tigers will be at home to face off against Chapman University on Wednesday, October 26 at 7:00 p.m. on Patterson Field.
