KICKING OFF
The St. Bonaventure women's soccer team returns to the Marra Athletics Complex this Sunday to continue its Atlantic 10 endeavors against Fordham with the opening kickoff slated for 1:00 p.m. St. Bonaventure will wear its pink jerseys for the first time on Sunday - the Bonnies will wear pink at each October home game in an effort to support breast cancer awareness and research. 
 
LAST TIME OUT
On the road against Richmond last Sunday, the Bonnies controlled the opening half, taking a 1-0 lead into the midway break after redshirt junior Audrey Cadman collected a perfectly placed ball over the top from sophomore Ava Reybitz and cashed in her third goal of the season. Unfortunately for the visitors, the Spiders put the pieces together in the second stanza, dominating possession and scoring an unanswered pair of goals to secure a winning result, including a last-minute score in the 89th minute to seal the deal.
 
PEAK FORM
With her scoring tally at Richmond, Cadman has now tied her single-season career high in goals. A transfer from Post, she logged a trio of goals for the Eagles in 2025.
 
CONSTANT PRESENCE
Freshman Liana Tata has not yet missed a minute of playing time in her collegiate career. The Rochester, N.Y. native boasts 900 minutes of action so far in her rookie season after playing full-time in every contest for the Bonnies. Similarly, sophomore defender Addison Brown has not been subbed out of a game yet in 2026, matching Tata with 900 minutes played.
 
BETWEEN THE POSTS
Senior goalkeeper Juliana Castellano returned to the starting lineup against Richmond, making seven saves to match her single-game season high. The contest marked her fourth start of the year and her first since playing full-time opposite Niagara on Aug. 31. Between those appearances, freshman Callie Turpin shouldered the goalkeeping responsibilities, reaching six starts and 36 total saves for the season.
 
SPREADING THE WEALTH
The Bonnies boast 10 different point scorers this season: Cadman (3G), Reybitz (1G-3A), Aoife Murphy (2G), Tata (2G), Ava Dimperio (1G), Alexis Olson (1G), Eduarda Silva (1G), Sadie Richardson (1A), Deanna Romero (1A) and Hannah Smith (1A).

• In its most recent appearance, the team fell to Davidson at home, 2-1. Fordham's three wins have come against Marist (2-1), Hofstra (1-0) and Columbia (2-1).
