Hoping to utilize its home field advantage, the women’s soccer team squares off against Colgate tonight, aiming to defeat one of its New York rivals in a rare midweek game.

“We have a short recovery, but we are definitely looking forward to playing another New York team … we are just looking to do what we’ve been doing and get a good start for the upcoming weekend,” said assistant coach Elke Reisdorph.

After the Red’s disappointing losses last weekend, the team is fired up to return to the playing field for its next challenge against the Raiders. Interestingly, Colgate is coming off a split weekend, after losing to Syracuse before tying with Marist.

Freshman forward Brook Chang has proved she is no stranger to the soccer field, consistently contributing to the offensive line in her first season playing with the Red.

During her opening collegiate performance in the Oakland University match, Chang showed her notable ball-handling skills and played an important role in the Red’s victory by scoring her first goal. Since that game, Chang has taken the lead in goal scoring, making her third in last weekend’s matchup against Yale. She is tied with sophomore forward Lena Russomagno as the highest point grabber on the team, with six this season.

Chang, a Clifton, Va., native, joined the team this season as a highly anticipated recruit with leadership experience, numerous accomplishments and an overall impressive soccer background.
