CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel women's soccer team opens the 2018 Southern Conference Women's Soccer Championship as the No. 9 seed this week.

LAST TIME OUT (W, 2-1 2OT vs, ETSU)
It had been since the 2014 season that The Citadel women's soccer team had won multiple Southern Conference games in a season. It had also been since the 2011 season that the Bulldogs had won two SoCon games at home. To top it all off, The Citadel had never beaten ETSU in women's soccer in nine previous meetings. That all changed Sunday afternoon as the 'Dogs defeated ETSU, the No. 3 team in the conference standings, 2-1 in double overtime at Washington Light Infantry Field. With just over five minutes left in the second golden-goal, overtime period, freshman Kessy Bradshaw found sophomore Hannah Roth at the top of the box. Roth took one touch in a spin move around a defender and sent a shot into the lower right 90 for the finish, giving the Bulldogs a fitting end to the regular season.

WINNING TWO SOCON GAMES
The win over ETSU on Sunday, Oct. 21 marked the first time The Citadel has won two SoCon regular-season games in a season since the 2014 team defeated Furman and Chattanooga on the road. The win at WLI Field also marked the first time the Bulldogs have won two SoCon games at home since the 2011 season, when the 'Dogs defeated Appalachian State and College of Charleston.

DOUBLE OVERTIME
The game against ETSU on Sunday, Oct. 21 marked the first time the Bulldogs had played a double-overtime, SoCon game since Oct. 13 of last season against Chattanooga. The last victory in double overtime for The Citadel came on Oct. 31, 2010, 2-1 at home over No. 6 seed Furman in the first round of the SoCon Championships. The last regular-season, double-overtime SoCon win for The Citadel came back on Sept. 26, 2010 when the 'Dogs defeated App State 2-1 on the road.

WINNING RECORD AT HOME
The Bulldogs' 6-3 record at WLI Field this season matches the 2010 team for the best home record in program history.

FIRST-EVER WIN OVER ETSU
The Bulldogs' 2-1, double-overtime win over ETSU on Sunday, Oct. 21 marked the first time in program history that the 'Dogs defeated the Bucs. The first-time win was the second this season for The Citadel after knocking off North Florida, 3-2, for the first time on Sunday, Aug. 19.
