SCOUTING THE FRIARS
The Friars enter Saturday's match looking to rebound from a 2-0 loss against Harvard. Despite outshooting the Crimson 12-8 and earning a 7-4 edge in corner kicks, Providence was unable to capitalize offensively.
Through five games, the Friars have outshot opponents 80-46 and they hold a 36-12 advantage in corner kicks. Senior Ian Abbey (Elmer, N.J.) leads the team in points (3) with one goal and one assist, while seniors Caden Stafford (Cincinnatus, N.Y.), Bruno Rosa (Cascais, Portugal), Cameron Yriondo (Sammamish, Wash.) and freshman Angelo Ventrella (Toronto, Canada) have each recorded one goal.
Defensively, the Friars have conceded five goals while holding opponents to under nine shots per game. Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Ryan Carney (Dunstable, Mass.) has played every minute in net this season, collecting 13 saves and a .722 save percentage. Graduate Charlie Dickerson (Norwich, England), senior Mitchel Varley (Portsmouth, N.J.), junior Brandon Marshall (Wake Forest, N.C.) and sophomore Vasco Teixeira (Arrentela, Portugal) have anchored the back line for the Friars.
Two returners earned All-BIG EAST honors last season for the Friars. Rosa earned All-BIG EAST Second Team. Senior midfielder Diego Batista (Barcelos, Portugal) was named to the All-BIG EAST Third Team. Both Rosa and Batista were named to the 2025 Preseason All-BIG EAST Team on Aug. 19.
Junior midfielder Pearse O'Brien (West Hartford, Conn.) enters his third season with the Friars. Throughout his career in Providence, he has solidified himself as a strong offensive threat, recording four goals and 11 assists. He was named to the BIG EAST All-Tournament Team in 2024.
SCOUTING THE BULLDOGS
The Bulldogs enter Friday's game ranked No. 17 in the country, the highest ranking in program history. They have started the season 4-0-1 and have allowed just two goals through five games. The Bulldogs had a statement win on Sep. 6 when they beat No. 20 UMass. Senior goalkeeper Enzo Carvalho has put together a strong campaign so far this season. He earned American East Defensive Player of the Week last week after recording two clean sheets against UMass and Dartmouth.
