BISMARCK, ND – The University of Mary women's soccer team will honor their six seniors when the Marauders host MSU Moorhead on Friday, April 9, in the first of two home games this weekend for UMary.
 
Kickoff is set for 7 pm on Senior Night when the Marauders face the Dragons at the MDU Resources Community Bowl.
 
UMary then wraps up its most challenging of seasons when Northern State University visits the Community Bowl on Saturday, April 10. Game time is 7 pm.
 
SCHEDULE UPDATE The Marauders home game scheduled against Minot State on April 12 is cancelled.
 
After a fall season wiped out by the pandemic and spring season full of starts and stops, the Marauders have played just three regulation games plus a scrimmage since the end of the 2019 season. When UMary takes to the pitch on Friday, it will have been 518 days since the Marauders last played on their home field, a victory over Minot State University on Nov. 8, 2019, the last day of the Northern Sun regular season.
 
Both games are free and open to the public. Spectators are asked to socially distance and face coverings are required regardless of state and local guidance. Additionally, fans must follow all Covid-19 safety, sanitation, and social distancing guidelines. Fans in attendance are not permitted to sit or stand within at least twelve feet of the bench area, working staff, and playing surface and are strictly prohibited from congregating on the playing surface before, during, and after the event. There will be no game day programs or printed stat sheets provided during the event.
 
The Marauders will honor seniors Emma Davies, Snædís Daníelsdóttir, Samantha Guzman, Cassidy Pierce, Hannah Richter and Samantha Rosenkranz prior to the Dragons match. All but Rosenkranz and Daníelsdóttir are anticipated to return to compete in the fall 2021 season.
 
A veteran squad, 16 Marauders from the 2019 roster are still with the program, including All-Northern Sun players Madisyn Waltman, Richter, Guzman and Pierce. Additionally six players are in their first season at UMary.
 
Yasmina Dokara leads the Marauders with two goals scored this spring. Seniors Emma Davies and Richter both have a goal and assist. Additionally Guzman, Emma Snider and Noelle Vigneri have counters.
