Bisons continue perfect ASUN form in 5-0 win over Austin Peay
The defending ASUN champions secured a dominant 5-0 win over the Austin Peay Governors on Sunday. The massive win was in large part due to junior midfielder Bella Carapazza’s performance running the midfield. The captain scored one goal and one assist in the second half of the game. From the beginning, it was evident that Austin Peay was going to have a hard 90 minutes. They were suffocated in their half from the Bisons’ press, and they could not seem to build out into the Bisons’ half. The Bisons broke the deadlock in the 15th minute through freshman forward Skylar Cole but were held back for the rest of the…

Organized through Sport Outreach International (SOI), the trip gave players the chance to teach and play soccer with kids in underserved areas. While the language barrier posed some challenges, players found that the sport itself became a powerful tool for connection. “This one felt different because we got to play soccer and connect with them through sport,” said sophomore midfielder Neeley Geissinger. “I thought that was even more beautiful just because it is so hard with the language barrier.” The team rotated…
