PHILADELPHIA – The La Salle women's soccer team (3-1-0, 0-1-0 A-10) will welcome Rhode Island (0-4-2, 0-0-2 A-10) to McCarthy Stadium on Thursday as the Blue & Gold look to snag their first conference win of the season. Kickoff is slated for 2 p.m. with the match airing on ESPN+.

- Haley Pignatelli has the Rams lone goal of the season.
- In net, both Faith Hutchins and Teresa Morrissey have seen ample playing time. Morrissey has seen over a hundred more minutes than Hutchins and has seven goals against and 21 saves.
- Hutchins took the starting job for two games before Morrissey made the start against Saint Joseph's this past Sunday.
