WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Army West Point women's soccer team heads to the road for the first of two three-game swings away from home this season. The Black Knights will take on DePaul and Loyola Chicago this weekend, before taking on Connecticut on Friday, Sept. 11.
Through four games, the Black Knights have a pair of victories over Sacred Heart and Youngstown State. Their losses have been on the road to Delaware (2-0) and at home to defending Ivy League champion Harvard (1-0).
Army West Point has scored six goals, all from different players, including three freshmen. In the 2-1 victory over Youngstown State, Samantha Sullenger scored the game-winning goal in the 83rd minute.

Army's first opponent of the weekend, the DePaul Blue Demons are ranked at No. 20 in the National Soccer Coaches Association (NSCAA) national rankings and No. 19 in the Soccer America Women's Top 25 poll. On the season, DePaul has scored 17 goals, while conceding only one and own a 3-0-1 mark. In their last two games, the Blue Demons have shutout victories over Eastern Michigan (7-0) and Saint Francis (Pa.) (5-0).
