Desarae Felix leads the team with six goals, although she is slightly edged out in points by Miranda Martinez (five goals and three assists) with 13 points.

PREVIOUS MATCH: ART U SHUTS OUT HOLY NAMES FOR FIRST WIN
Oct. 21 - A pair of goals including a career-first for freshman forward Alyssa Rasmussen were the highlights in Saturday's dominant, 2-0 win for Academy of Art over Holy Names. Beyond the frills of the two goals-scored, the Urban Knights posted a strong showing on both sides of the ball throughout the entirety of the match.

LOOKING AHEAD
After the Knights conclude their final road trip of the year, they will have one final home stand consisting of three games against, Biola, Point Loma, and the season finale against Concordia.
