KNIGHT WATCH
Senior forward Anissa Wilson scored the game winning goal in the Urban Knights 2-1 victory in their PacWest opener against Azusa Pacific. Wilson put a nice header on a cross and drove the ball to the top right corner to give ART U the lead in the 46th minute. Wilson's ninth goal of the season and 15th of her career moved her into a tie for second with Rea Laudat on the ART U women's soccer career goals list. Her third game winning goal of the season and sixth of her career also puts her at the top of the career game-winning goals list.  Furthermore, Wilson's 19 points on nine goals and one assist are most for ART U and in the PacWest conference. 

Sophomore forward Brooklyn Morera assisted the goal, to notch her team leading fourth assist of the season. Morera's 10 points on three goals and four assists are third most in the conference, and her four assists is tied for first. Junior midfielder Sydney Cooke scored the equalizer against the Cougars. Cooke ripped a shot from 25 yards out that curved beautifully to the top left corner to tie the match at one. With nine points on three goals and three assists, Cooke is third in points for the Urban Knights and fourth in the conference.
