Black Hills State women's soccer returns home this weekend to take on Adams State on Friday, and New Mexico Highlands on Sunday at Ronnie Theisz Field.
The Yellow Jackets (2-7, 1-5 RMAC) will face ASU on Friday, Oct. 15 at 3 p.m. and then NMHU on Sunday, Oct. 17 at 11 a.m. Currently in the RMAC standings, NMHU is one spot above BHSU and ASU is one below the Yellow Jackets in the standings.
"We are halfway into the RMAC season, and it happened that our first six matches were against the current top-6 in the RMAC," said head coach
Andrew Conniff. "We got our lone RMAC win against the current six-seed. It will be really interesting to see what we can do over the next couple weeks having already played some of the conference's best."
Freshman goalkeeper
Makayla Dannelly ranks second in the RMAC with 6.43 saves per game, sitting behind only Kaeyla Noble of Western Colorado (7.20).
"The last few games really tested us," Conniff said. "The quality of the opposition presented us with opportunities to learn about the small margins between victory and defeat. We have enough belief in ourselves that we can be better. This weekend gives us a chance to take positive steps towards our goals. We have a real point to prove when it comes to our chance creation and goal scoring."
