ABOUT THE RAIDERS
Travis Sobers is in his second season as the head coach of Wright State. Sobers has been with Wright State since 2013, serving as the associate head coach before being promoted to head coach on August 4, 2021.
Lauren Borchert leads the charge for WSU, pacing the Raiders in shots (22) and shots on goal (13). The junior midfielder is also one of three players, alongside Kaylin Helinski and Marcella Sizer, to notch two goals, which leads the team. Ten different Raiders have scored a goal, part of the offensive attack that has garnered 13 goals through nine games.
PAGELS PUNCHING IN
Zoey Pagels has made her presence known in her first year of collegiate soccer. The 2022 WSCA First Team All-State member leads the team with two goals and six on goal. She and McKayla Kertscher are tied for most points with four. Pagels is also eighth in minutes played on the team, recording 474 minutes on the pitch. Pagels is one of six GB players to start all seven games.
AMAZING ANNIE
Goalkeeper Annie Mason has been one of the best goalkeepers in the Horizon League since coming to Green Bay last season. With the shutout of Oakland on September 18, Mason became third in program history for career shutouts (11). She needs to record six clean sheets in the final eight games to tie the record set by Barb Singer from 1990-93 (17).
NEW PHOENIX FACES
Katelyn Fishnick, Zoey Pagels, and Sierra Morgano, three true freshmen, highlight the 2022 recruiting class. Fishnick was a WSCA First Team All-State member, Pagels was the WSCA Player of the Year in 2022, and Morgano became a U.S. Youth Soccer National Champion in 2022.
