The Sun Devil soccer team closes out non-conference play with two home contests vs. Grambling State (Wed. at 7 p.m.) and vs. Toledo (Sun. at 7 p.m.). Wednesday’s contest vs. Grambling State was added to ASU’s schedule on Sept. 1. The game replaced the Hawaii game that was canceled on Aug. 18 due to weather.
The Sun Devils (2-0-2) will be returning action for the first time in 13 days after their contests vs. Georgia Southern (Sept. 4) and current No. 9/unbeaten Pepperdine (Sept. 8) were canceled due to Covid-19 protocols.
The fact the Sun Devils are unbeaten is a testament to the team’s focus despite the obstacles it has overcome just to play the games it has thus far.
Both of ASU’s opening weekend contests were affected by weather. ASU’s opening game, 1-1 tie vs. 2021 NCAA Tournament participant South Dakota State, started on the night of Aug. 18 (played 48 minutes before game was halted by lightning) and finished on the morning of Aug. 19. Keri Matthews’ first career goal tied the game at 1-1 on Friday after SDSU took the lead during Thursday’s evening session.
ASU’s next scheduled contest vs. Hawai’i (Aug. 21) did not even start as the contest was delayed by lightning just as the teams were getting to warm up. The game was eventually canceled.
The Sun Devils were able to start and finish their first road contest, a 2-1 win at Boise State (Aug. 25), without any unusual stoppages. However, weather issues once again came into play – a 50-minute lightning delay before the start of the second half – in ASU’s ensuing contest, a 1-1 tie at Denver (Aug. 28).
Before its current hiatus, ASU returned home and scored its most goals since the 2021 season opener in a 6-2 win over UAB (Sept. 1).
The Sun Devils have been led by returning All-American Nicole Douglas, who became ASU’s all-time leader in career goals after scoring a pair in the win over UAB. Douglas tied and passed Sun Devil Hall of Famer Stacey Tullock (50 goals/1998-2001) and now has 51 career goals. After not finding the back of the net in the season opener, Douglas has exploded for five goals in ASU’s last three games. Douglas (120 career points/51 goals and 18 assists), who also tied Tullock’s school record for career…
