Women’s Soccer Faces Crucial Match with Iona on Wednesday

The Kick Off:

• The Saint Peter's University women's soccer team continues Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) play when they host the Iona Gaels.
• Last time out, the Peacocks lost to Quinnipiac by a score of 5-0.
• Saint Peter's is 1-2 at home this season.

History with the Gaels:

• This will be the 30th meeting all-time between the Peacocks and the Gaels. 
• Saint Peter's has a 9-18-2 record all-time against Iona, dating back to 1992.
• Last time the two teams met, Iona beat Saint Peter's 3-2 after double overtime in the abbreviated 2020-21 season on April 2 in Jersey City.
• The Peacocks last beat the Gaels in 2018, winning by a score of 2-1 in Jersey City on October 20.

A Look to November:

• With five games remaining, the Peacocks still have work to do in order to clinch a spot in the MAAC tournament.
• Currently sitting tenth in the conference, Wednesday's match pits them against the ninth ranked team (Iona) in the conference.
• Three of the Peacocks final five matchups, including Wednesday's contest, see them face teams in the bottom half of the conference.
• Saint Peter's has not qualified for the MAAC tournament since 2017.

Up Next:

• The Peacocks welcome the Manhattan Jaspers to Joseph J. Jaroschak Field on Saturday, October 16 as they continue conference play. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m.
