Scranton will host Drew in a Landmark Conference matchup Wednesday, Feb. 8 at 7 p.m. in the John Long Center.

Sophomore goalie Nicole Olson (Stoughton, Mass./Ursuline Academy) of The University of Scranton women's soccer team earned College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-American First Team honors as announced by the organization on Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 6.

Olson is the fifth member of the women's soccer program all-time to receive Academic All-American recognition along with Nicole Bayman (2001), Emily Farrell (2012), Erin Casey (2016) and Becca Russo (2019).

The Stoughton, Mass., native was also one of just three sophomores at the Division III level to receive the prestigious honor this year along with Michaela Bosco of Trinity University and Calista Burke of Rowan University.

A total of 42 Scranton student-athletes have now earned Academic All-American distinction.

This season, Olson started all 21 games she appeared in in goal for the Royals and ranked in the top 10 nationally in goals against average (0.26), save percentage (.918) and shutouts (11). She conceded just five goals on the season as Scranton advanced to a second straight Sweet 16 and captured a third consecutive Landmark Conference title.

In an NCAA first round matchup against Bowdoin, Olson tallied six saves and made a decisive save during the penalty kick shootout to help the Royals advance to the second round where they notched a 3-0 victory over Westfield State.

A Kinesiology major, she boasts a perfect 4.0 GPA and is a two-time University of Scranton Dean's List honoree.

The No. 8 University of Scranton women's basketball team (6-0) limited No. 14 Ithaca to just 32.1 percent shooting and forced 20 turnovers en route to a 74-53 victory over the Bombers in a Top 15 non-conference matchup on Tuesday night, Nov. 29, at the John Long Center in Scranton.

The Lady Royals led for the final 38:56 of the game after taking a 4-2 lead just over a minute into the contest and never looked back.

Senior Bridget Monaghan (Florham Park, N.J./Morristown-Beard) hit a layup to give Scranton the afore-mentioned 4-2 lead and freshman Kaci Kranson (Scranton, Pa./Holy Cross) later buried a three for an 11-5 edge with 5:36 left in the first quarter. After the Bombers battled back to cut the lead to 15-13, Scranton closed the stanza on an 11-4 run and Kranson sank a free throw in the waning seconds for a 26-17 lead. Another Kranson layup stretched the lead into double digits at 34-23 with 4:24 left in the second quarter and the Scranton native helped the Lady Royals take a 40-30 lead into the locker room.

Kranson scored 19 of her career-high 24 points in the first half.

After Ithaca scored the first five points of the third quarter to slice the lead to 40-35, Monaghan sank a jumper and hit a pair of free throws on consecutive possessions to stretch the lead back to nine at 44-35 at the 6:20 mark. Just over a minute later, senior Hannah Angelini (Baldwin Place, N.Y./Somers) converted a three-point play that made it 47-35 and the Lady Royals held the lead in double digits at 52-41 after three. Angelini then hit a layup to open the scoring in the fourth quarter and ignite a 9-2 run as a Monaghan jumper capped things off to extend the lead to 61-43 with 6:53 to play. Graduate student Sam Rajza (Plains, Pa./Holy Redeemer) scored eight straight points for the hosts down the stretch to preserve the 74-53 win.

Kranson tallied her career-high 24 on 9-of-14 shooting and Monaghan added a season-high 20, while Rajza contributed 14 of her own behind a trio of three-pointers. Junior Maddy Ryan (Malvern, Pa./Villa Maria Academy) came through with six points, seven rebounds and a career-high eight steals for the Lady Royals.

Ryan's eight steals are the most by a Scranton player since Megan Kopecki recorded eight thefts versus Merchant Marine on Jan. 29, 2010.

Lindsey Albertelli paced Ithaca with 12 points in the setback.

Scranton shot 40.3% (25-of-62) from the field, 41.2% (7-of-17) from three-point range and 17-of-23 (73.9%) from the charity stripe in the contest. The Bombers were just 18-of-56 (32.1%) from the floor and 3-of-17 (17.6%) from beyond the arc.

Head coach Ben O'Brien's team forced the 20 Ithaca turnovers, which led to 21 points.

Ithaca held a 43-37 edge in the rebounding battle and Kranson and Ryan grabbed seven rebounds apiece to lead Scranton.

The Lady Royals will host Goucher in the Landmark Conference opener for both teams on Saturday afternoon at the John Long Center with action slated to get underway at 2 p.m.

Junior Niamh Healy (Orangeburg, N.Y./Tappan Zee) opened the scoring just under three minutes into the game and The University of Scranton women's soccer (17-2-2) never looked back en route to a 3-0 victory over the Westfield State Owls (16-4-1) in NCAA Tournament Second Round action on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 13, at Weiss Field in Scranton.

With the win, the Royals are headed back to the Sweet 16 for a second straight year and have advanced past the second round for the fourth time in program history.

Scranton will take on the winner of Misericordia/Western New England next weekend at a place and time yet to be determined.

In the third minute, senior Teresa Hegarty (Bryn Mawr, Pa./Merion Mercy Academy) played a ball down the wing to Healy who sent a shot over the head of Owls' goalie Lauryn Davis for her team-leading 11th goal of the season and the early 1-0 lead. Davis was forced to make a save on a shot from sophomore Emily Bannon (Middletown, N.Y./Minisink Valley) just over a minute later as the Royals continued to put the pressure on offensively. With just under 10 minutes to play in the first half, sophomore Samantha Goffice (Gilbertsville, Pa./Boyertown Area) slotted a shot past a diving Davis to give Scranton a 2-0 edge with her third goal of the year.

Head coach Colleen Pivirotto's team held a 10-3 shot advantage through the opening 45 minutes and took the 2-0 lead into the locker room.

Royals' sophomore goalie Nicole Olson (Stoughton, Mass./Ursuline Academy) made a save on Westfield State's Kylee Murphy in the 62nd minute to keep it a two goal game. Then, in the 66th minute, junior Mary Haggerty (Garden City, N.Y./Garden City) delivered a beauty of a free kick into the box and Hegarty headed it home for the 3-0 lead.

The goal was Hegarty's fourth of the season and she also leads the team with eight assists.

Scranton managed a series of quality chances over the final 20 plus minutes and senior Evelyn Bruggeman's (Coatesville, Pa./Bishop Shanahan) nearly made it 4-0 when her shot hit the post in the 78th minute. Olson added one more save in the 85th minute to preserve the shutout victory.

On the day, the Royals held a 25-8 advantage in shots led by seven from Healy.

Olson made two saves to post her 11th shutout of the season, while Davis tallied three saves in 62 plus minutes of action for the Owls.

With the victory, Scranton remains unbeaten in 40 all-time meetings against the Pacers.

The game also marked the first home win for head coach Ben O'Brien.

Things were even at 10 apiece with just under three minutes to play in the first quarter when senior Bridget Monaghan (Florham Park, N.J./Morristown-Beard) buried a three and junior Allie Lynch (Villanova, Pa./Academy of Notre Dame de Namur) sank a jumper of her own for five straight points as the Lady Royals took a 15-12 lead. After Marywood's Kate Baylor hit a jumper to bring Marywood within four at 24-20 with 4:46 remaining in the second quarter, junior Maddy Ryan (Malvern, Pa./Villa Maria Academy) responded with a basket of her own that ignited a 7-0 run for a 31-20 Scranton lead. A layup from Ryan in the final minute of the quarter gave the hosts a 38-28 advantage at the half.

The lead remained at 10 through the first few minutes of the third quarter before three straight three-pointers from the Lady Royals with two by graduate student Sam Rajza (Plains, Pa./Holy Redeemer) and one by senior Hannah Angelini (Baldwin Place, N.Y./Somers) extended the lead to 51-32 at the 4:37 mark. Angelini later connected on a jumper in the waning seconds for a 55-35 lead after three. Marywood was unable to get any closer than 16 in the fourth quarter and Scranton cruised to a third straight victory on the young season.

Four players reached double figures for the Lady Royals with 20 from Rajza on 8-of-14 shooting (4-of-7 3PT), Ryan with 16, Monaghan with 11 and Angelini with 10.

Angelini added a career-high 10 rebounds, surpassing her previous career-best of nine that was set against Catholic on Feb. 21, 2021.

Monaghan also contributed six rebounds, four assists and three steals.

Savannah Purdy paced Marywood with 14 points on the evening.

O'Brien's team shot 39.4% (28-of-71) from the field and 40.9% (9-of-22) from three-point range, while the Pacers were 20-of-51 (39.2%) from the floor and just 2-of-13 (15.4%) from deep.

Scranton held a 43-33 edge on the glass led by Angelini's 10 boards, eight from Ryan and seven from Rajza.

The Lady Royals are back in action on Saturday against King's College, as part of the annual Cross-County Challenge that will be hosted by Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Opening tip is slated for 1 p.m.

Junior Emily Tantala (Langhorne, Pa./Neshaminy) scored the game-winner with just 0:13 left in regulation and The top seeded University of Scranton women's soccer team (16-2-1) captured a third straight Landmark Conference title with a 1-0 victory over the No. 3 seed Drew Rangers (11-6-2) in the conference championship match on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 5, at Weiss Field in Scranton.

This marks the Royals' third straight title, fifth in sixth seasons and the program's ninth Landmark championship overall.

Head coach Colleen Pivirotto's team is headed back to the NCAA Tournament for a sixth straight year and has won a first round game in each of the last four seasons.

In the waning seconds of regulation, senior Teresa Hegarty (Bryn Mawr, Pa./Merion Mercy Academy) fought hard to keep the play alive around a trio of Drew defenders and fed an open Tantala who sent a shot into the upper left corner of the net to seal the victory.

The goal was Tantala's second of the year with both having been game-winners.

Drew nearly took an early lead in the seventh minute, but Royals' sophomore goalie Nicole Olson (Stoughton, Mass./Ursuline Academy) denied Alexa Krause to keep the game scoreless. Just a few minutes later, junior Mary Haggerty (Garden City, N.Y./Garden City) saw her shot saved and the two teams continued to battle through a scoreless first half. Olson once again turned away Krause's attempt from point blank range with a save in the 26th minute and things remained scoreless headed into halftime.

Scranton held a 5-3 shot advantage through the opening 45 minutes.

As the second half began, the Royals mounted the pressure offensively and nearly took the lead in the 63rd minute, but Rangers' goalie Amina Cirkiel recorded consecutive saves on Tantala and fellow junior Niamh Healy (Orangeburg, N.Y./Tappan Zee). Cirkiel later added three more saves in a five minute plus span and the game was still deadlocked at zero as the clock ticked under 15 minutes to play. Scranton continued to threaten and Healy's shot with 1:13 left was denied by Cirkiel. Things looked to be headed to overtime before Tantala struck for the game-winner in the final seconds.

The Royals had a 17-3 shot advantage for the game as the defense remained strong en route to a 14th shutout. The hosts also had 10 corner kicks in the second half and 12 for the game.

Olson tallied two saves in the victory, while Cirkiel recorded six saves for the Rangers in 45 minutes of action.

The 2022 NCAA Division III Field of 64 will be announced in a live selection show on Monday afternoon on NCAA.com with air time slated for 2 p.m.

The No. 4 seed University of Scranton men's soccer team limited No. 2 seed Elizabethtown to just three shots and used a first half goal from freshman Gavin Scavino (Succasunna, N.J./Gill St. Bernard's) to notch a 1-0 victory over the Blue Jays in Saturday's Landmark Conference title game at Ira R. Herr Field.

This marks the Royals' third Landmark title and the first since 2016. In fact, each of Scranton's previous two titles have also won been at ETown.

Head coach Matt Pivirotto's program is also the second No. 4 seed to win the conference championship and the first since Catholic did so in 2010.

Scranton is headed to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2016 and the 17th time in program history.

Senior center back Brendan King (Lancaster, Pa./Hempfield) helped lead the Royals to a pair of 1-0 shutout victories in the Landmark Tournament and earned MVP honors.

The two teams battled to a defensive stalemate in the early stages of the first half as neither side was able to register a shot until junior Anthony Rizzi (Bloomfield, N.J./Bloomfield) sent one just wide for the Royals in the 10th minute. Rizzi's shot in the 18thminute was turned away by Blue Jays' goalie Kelvin Del Cid and Royals' senior keeper Aidan Hartey (Elkins Park, Pa./St. Joseph's Prep) made a save of his own in the 30thminute when he denied Pedro Guizardi. Following another save by Del Cid in the 35thminute, the Royals struck just over a minute later for a 1-0 lead.

Sophomore Seamus O'Keefe (West Newbury, Mass./Pentucket Regional) gained possession of the ball near midfield, sent a pass to freshman Justin Curran (Media, Pa./The Shipley School) who gave it right back to O'Keefe and the latter found Scavino who slotted it home past a charging Del Cid with a tick over 10 minutes to play in the first half. The goal was Scavino's third of the season with two having come in his last four games.

Holding on to a 1-0 advantage, the Royals were able to limit the Blue Jays to just one shot over the final 45 minutes which came on an attempt from Ryan Hepler that was wide of the target in the 53rd minute.

The game was a physical affair throughout as there were a combined four yellow cards and 38 fouls.

Scranton held an 8-3 shot advantage and Hartey made one save to notch his seventh shutout of the season, which is tops in the Landmark Conference.

Rizzi paced the Royals with three shots on the day.

The 2022 NCAA Division III Field of 64 will be announced in a live selection show on Monday afternoon on NCAA.com with air time slated for 1:30 p.m.

Sophomore Emily Bannon (Middletown, N.Y./Minisink Valley) scored the eventual game-winner in the 95th minute in the first overtime period and The University of Scranton top-seeded women's soccer team (15-2-1) held on for a 1-0 victory over the No. 4 seed Catholic University Cardinals (3-10-5) in the Landmark Conference semifinals on Tuesday night, Nov. 1, at Weiss Field in Scranton.

The Royals advance to Saturday's Landmark title game versus No. 3 Drew at Weiss Field with start time yet to be determined. The Rangers advanced with a 1-0 overtime victory as Alexa Krause scored the game winner in the 105th minute.

Bannon was able to tap one home in front of goal after an impressive pass from the corner by senior Teresa Hegarty (Bryn Mawr, Pa./Merion Mercy Academy) found its way to the sophomore and Catholic goalie Ava Rieger was caught out of position. Prior to the pass, Hegarty did well to beat a pair of Cardinal defenders with some nifty footwork.

The goal was Bannon's fifth of the season, while Hegarty registered her team-leading sixth assist.

New overtime rules were implemented in NCAA soccer this year as teams must now play through both 10 minute overtime periods as opposed to the previous golden goal format.

The Royals threatened from the get-go in this one as Rieger made a pair of saves in the fourth minute on juniors Mary Haggerty (Garden City, N.Y./Garden City) and Claire Mulholland (Marlton, N.J./Cherokee). On the other side, Scranton's sophomore goalie Nicole Olson (Stoughton, Mass./Ursuline Academy) made a pair of saves in the 22nd and 26th minutes to keep the game scoreless for the time being. In the 31st minute, Scranton nearly took the lead in a sequence where Rieger turned away an initial shot by junior Niamh Healy (Orangeburg, N.Y./Tappan Zee), Haggerty saw a shot cleared off the goal line by a Cardinals defender and the goalie added a second save on Healy.

Scranton held a 13-4 shot advantage, but things remained scoreless through the opening 45 minutes.

In the first 15 plus minutes of the second half, Rieger tallied three more saves and Olson added a save of her own on Catholic's Jordan Siok in the 58th minute. Head coach Colleen Pivirotto's team continued to mount the pressure offensively, but it was the Cardinals that nearly took the lead in the 81st minute as Sara Placide's header trickled just wide of the target. From there, Hegarty saw her shot ring off the crossbar in the 86th minute and the two teams headed for overtime.

In the first overtime period, Bannon provided the afore-mentioned heroics in the 95th minute and the Royals' defense put forth a strong effort to hold Catholic without a shot over the final 20 minutes of the match to seal a berth in Saturday's title game.

The Royals held a 29-6 shot advantage in the contest led by nine from Healy and four from Hegarty.

Olson recorded three saves to notch her eighth shutout of the season, while Rieger made 15 saves in the setback for Catholic.

The University of Scranton volleyball team (19-9, 5-0 Landmark) rallied to take the final two sets and took down the Susquehanna River Hawks (14-13, 3-2 Landmark) by a score of 3-2 in a five-set thriller on Tuesday night at the John Long Center in Scranton.

With the win, the Royals remain unbeaten in Landmark Conference play at 5-0 with two conference matches remaining.

Scranton took the first four points of the match and opened up an 11-5 lead in the first set following a Susquehanna attack error. The River Hawks sliced the lead in half and made it 12-9 before five straight Royals ace including two service aces by junior Stephanie Margolies (Westfield, N.J./Westfield) stretched the lead to 17-9. However, the visitors responded with seven consecutive points to cut the lead to 17-16, but Scranton took eight of the final 11 points and a River Hawks' attack error closed out the 25-19 win for head coach Jamie Spangler's team.

Susquehanna was able to rally to even the match in the second set as they recorded the first 10 points and 12 of the first 15 for a 12-3 lead. Despite a rally by the Royals that brought them within five on two occasions, the River Hawks picked up the 25-16 victory.

Through the first part of the third set, the two sides battled to a 13 all deadlock before Susquehanna took the next six points for a 19-13 advantage and took a one set lead with a 25-19 victory following a kill from Kody Dillon.

A kill by sophomore Sophia Hadjiyane (Huntington, N.Y./John Glenn) gave Scranton a 16-9 lead in the fourth set, but the River Hawks would not go quietly and fought back to cut the lead to two at 19-17. From there, senior Abby Rzucidlo (Garnet Valley, Pa./Ursuline Academy) delivered a pair of kills and classmate Carah Vitkus (Mahopac, N.Y./Mahopac) forced a decisive fifth set with a service ace in the 25-21 win.

After the two teams split the first four points of the afore-mentioned fifth set, a River Hawks' attack error marked the beginning of six straight points for Scranton and Hadjiyane made it 8-2 with a kill. Susquehanna managed to cut the lead to 14-11 in the late stages of the fifth and final set before Rzucidlo finished things off with a kill.

Margolies led a balanced attack with 16 kills and the Royals featured five players that had nine or more kills with a season-high 10 from Rzucidlo and nine apiece by the trio of Hadjiyane, Vitkus and sophomore Erin Keaveney (Collegeville, Pa./Villa Maria Academy). Senior Caileigh Cox (Randolph, N.J./Randolph) also played a key role offensively with 45 assists.

Freshman Maddie Forry (Reading, Pa./Exeter Township) paced the Royals defensively with 35 digs, her second highest total of the season, and Vitkus added 12.

Rosina Esposito had 20 kills to lead Susquehanna in the setback.

The University of Scranton volleyball team will host Stevens in the regular season home finale on Friday night, Oct. 28, at the John Long Center, with first serve set for 7 p.m.

Junior Katie Redding (Havertown, Pa./Haverford) matched the single-game program record with four assists and The University of Scranton field hockey team (9-3, 4-1 Landmark) rolled to a 10-0 victory over the Goucher College Gophers (2-10, 0-5 Landmark) on Tuesday night at Beldon Field in Towson, Maryland.

The Royals' 10 goals are tied for the second most in program history and the most since an 11-0 victory over Misericordia on Sept. 12,1988.

Redding's four helpers tied the record that was set by Megan Gallagher in a 6-1 win over King's on Sept. 13, 2018. The Havertown, Pa., native also posted her third career hat trick and leads the Landmark Conference with 16 goals on the year.

Scranton had 10 penalty corners in the early stages of the first quarter and junior Elle Collins (Long Valley, N.J./West Morris Central) opened the scoring in the sixth minute as she tipped home a blast from Redding at the top of the circle. Sophomore Lauren Franco (West Chester, Pa./B. Reed Henderson) made it 2-0 in the ninth minute following the initial shot by junior Bridget Abraldes (Holbrook, N.Y./Sachem East) and the Royals added goals from fellow sophomore Reagan Dolan (Broomall, Pa./Bonner & Prendergast) in the 13^th minute and Redding in the 14^th minute to take a 4-0 lead after one quarter.

Goucher goalie Julia Foster tallied a pair of saves early in the second quarter, but the Royals struck again in the 26^th minute when senior Maeve Kenny (Metuchen, N.J./Metuchen) found the back of the net for the first of her two goals on the night and Abraldes took a feed from Redding in the 28^th minute to make it 6-0 at halftime.

Redding tallied her second goal of the night in the 40^th minute and Scranton later added goals from Kenny, Redding and Dolan in the final two minutes of regulation to complete the 10-0 victory.

Joining Redding with multi-goal games were Dolan and Kenny with two apiece, while Abraldes added a goal and two assists. This marked Dolan's second straight multi-goal game after she also scored a pair in Saturday's overtime win versus Moravian.

Senior goalie Clare Maguire (Oreland, Pa./Mount Saint Joseph Academy) played all 60 minutes in the cage for the Royals and registered her seventh career shutout.
