NORFOLK, Va. – The Middle Tennessee women's soccer team is set to hit the road for the first time this season as they travel to Norfolk, Virginia to take on Old Dominion in Conference USA action.

With nearly a full season yet to play, the forward currently sits atop the Blue Raiders record books with 43 goals, which leads the nation among active players, and a career shot percentage of .267, and she set the single-season mark for goals per game in 2019 with 1.07.
