KNIGHT WATCH
Just six matches into the season, senior forward Anissa Wilson has broken the ART U single-season goals record. Wilson scored the first goal of the match against William Jessup for her eighth goal to break Marg Thorolfsdottir's record set back in 2011. Wilson also has one assist on the year for a conference leading total of 15 points. 

Sophomore forward Brooklyn Morera is coming off a strong week in which she had goals in back to back matches. She has now scored in three consecutive matches, and her three goals and two assists for eight points are second most for ART U. Behind Morera is junior midfielder Sydney Cooke who collected a conference leading three assists last week. The trio of assists adds to her pair of goals for a total of seven points this season. One of those assists was finished by freshman defender Katie Williams for her first career goal. The goal came against Western Oregon in the 56th minute on a free kick by Cooke that Williams volleyed into the back of the net.  

ARG-YOU-NAUT ENTERTAINED
Notre Dame de Namur started the season with a 4-2 win over win over Cal State East Bay, but have yet to win a game since then and hold a record of 1-2-2. The Argonauts tied their next match 1-1 against Humboldt State before suffering their first loss of the season 4-1 to San Francisco State. They dropped their next match to Stanislaus State by the same score and in their most recent game, notched another tie by a score of 1-1 to Cal State San Bernardino. Ellie Mujushi leads NDNU in goals and points with three and six respectively. The Argonauts have been successful against ART U in the past, with an all-time record of 13-1-2, although the Urban Knights beat NDNU 1-0 in their first meeting of last season.

HERE COMES THE COUGARS
Azusa Pacific started their season on Sept. 5 with a 3-1 win over Cal State Dominguez Hills. The Cougars then took down Cal State San Marcos in overtime with a golden goal in the 99th minute for a 1-0 victory. APU suffered their first loss on Sept. 14 by a score of 3-2 to UC San Diego, and tied Chico State 0-0 the following week. In their most recent contest, the Cougars handed San Francisco State a 3-1 loss, to improve their record to 3-1-1. With two goals and two assists for six points, Maddy Morrison is the Cougars' top scorer. Behind her is Randi Macadangdang with one goal and one assist, while three more Cougars have two points on one goal. In the all-time series, APU is undefeated against Academy of Art with a record of 6-0-1. 

WILSON BREAKS SINGLE SEASON GOALS RECORD IN 2-0 WIN
Academy of Art women's soccer has a new single-season goals leader, senior forward Anissa Wilson. With her eighth goal of the season, Wilson broke both the single-season goals and points record in ART U's 2-0 victory over William Jessup, Wednesday afternoon at Jessup Field.
