The Marist women's soccer squad will close out its non‑conference slate on August 30 at 1 p.m., hosting Holy Cross in Annapolis, Maryland, with the game streamed on ESPN+.
Historical Context and Recent Form
A month earlier the two sides met at Tenney Stadium, where Marist fell 2‑0; Marissa Foster led the scoring with three goals, while Ariana Mullin, Ella Bryan and Julia Oliveira added shots on target.
In that match Samantha Graf made two saves before being replaced by Nelly Bianchi‑Nigale in the second half.
Navy's Record and Key Players
Navy arrives with a 3‑2‑1 record after victories over Robert Morris, Marywood and Maryland, and key contributors Kayana Adlam (two goals, one assist, five points) and Natasha Stramrood, who has 23 saves and a 1.87 goals‑against average.
The upcoming contest will be the fourth meeting, a series in which Marist remains winless, having dropped all three previous encounters, the most recent a 2‑1 defeat on September 1, 2024.
After the Holy Cross showdown, Marist will travel to face Merrimack on September 5, kicking off at 1 p.m. at home.
