PHILADELPHIA – Women's soccer hits the road on Friday to face the Greyhounds of Loyola (Md.) (3-1-2) and return home for the first time in three weeks to host Cornell (0-5-0) on Sunday.  The Explorers won 10 consecutive home games having not lost a match at McCarthy Stadium since October 29, 2010.
 
Scouting the Explorers
 
The Explorers have mounted a balanced offensive attack this season with their twelve goals coming from seven different players while an additional five players have contributed assists.  Sophomore Kelsey Haycook, this week's Atlantic 10 Player of the Week, exploded for four goals and an assist in last weekend's Villanova Tournament, scoring a hat trick and adding an assist in the squad's 6-2 win over Seton Hall.
 
La Salle Rookies broke into the box score last week when freshmen Jessika Kagan and Chrissy Vollrath each netted their first collegiate goals and classmate Kelsey Celline recorded her first collegiate point on an assist.
