Coach Mazza traveled to his former stomping grounds of Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Wednesday and left with a 3-0 victory. The win brought the Warhawks record to 2-1 on the season

Mazza came to ULM last season after previously coaching at Pine Bluff for five seasons.

Senior Kaitlin Morin transferred from UAPB last season but didn’t   play against her former team.

“It was different being on the opposite bench after five years,” Said Mazza. “But it was good to leave with a victory.”

Freshman Karlea Fehr continued to show her dominance as she fisnished with a goal and two assists. Fehr lead the Warhawks with seven goals on the season, and she described her college career as “exciting.”

“We have a new coach, new team and everyone is working hard for a spot.” Said Fehr.

“Karlea has really been turning it on.” Said Mazza. “She is maturing as we move forward and keeps putting players in the right situation.”

The other two goals came off assists from Fehr to Sophomore Taylor Bonetti and Freshman Kelley O’Dwyer.

Mazza’s runs a 4-5-1 offense that Fehr said she’s used to playing. Knowing this offense continues to help her score this season.

The shutout win against UAPB is the second straight on the season for the Warhawks defense. Senior Alex Holland deserves a lot of the credit, recording five saves at goalie.

This past weekend the Warhawks were scheduled to head to Hattiesburg , Miss., for the Southern Miss Tournament. Due to weather conditions, the Warhawks traveled to Starksville on Friday to play Mississippi State instead.

On Monday Sept. 3, the Warhawks will go to Hattisburg, Miss., to play USM on the last day of the tournament. Practices were limited going in to the tournament because of hurricane Issac, but coaches and players are confident that the team can win against the Bulldogs and Golden Eagles.

Fehr said, “We can pull off a win if everyone plays together.”
