One Ocean State Foe Down, One More To Go… Providence defeated Rhode Island, 2-0, in its season opener on Feb. 14. Senior Amber Birchwell (Mastic, N.Y.) and Freshman Meg Hughes (Rochester, Mass.) tallied a goal each in the second half for the Friars, in the 63rd and 90th minute, respectively. Freshman Emma Bodmer (Monroe Township, N.J.) registered three saves in her first career start and shut-out in a Friars uniform.
Awards All Around… Bodmer, Birchwell and Hughes all earned BIG EAST Weekly Awards following their performances against Rhode Island. Bodmer was named BIG EAST Goalkeeper on the Week while Birchwell and Hughes were BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll honorees.
Scouting the Bulldogs… Bryant was selected fourth in the 2020-21 Northeast Conference Preseason Coaches' Poll. The Bulldogs went 9-4-4 last season, including an undefeated record of 7-0-3 in conference play. Bryant returns NEC Goalkeeper of the Year Meghan Dalton and defender Jamie Irwin, who were both named to the All-NEC first team last season. The Bulldogs lost its 2019 leading scorer in Remi Manna and leading assist giver, Alison Guilmette.

The Friars were picked to finish third among 6 BIG EAST schools behind Georgetown and Villanova.
