BLOOMSBURG, Pa. – The Bloomsburg University women's soccer team began the year receiving votes in the United Soccer Coaches National Poll and, after a 3-1 start to the season, jumped up to No. 25.
 
The Huskies opened the season with an impressive 1-0 win over Mercyhurst in a premiere matchup in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC). Bloomsburg followed the win with a 2-1 victory over Goldey-Beacom before edging out Mansfield 1-0 in the first PSAC East contest of the season. The only blemish on the Huskies' schedule this season is a 3-1 loss to West Chester, who is ranked No. 20 in this week's poll.
 
Graduate student Nicole Varano (Mt. Carmel, Pa./Mt. Carmel) leads the Huskies' offense this season with a pair of goals, while sophomore Ellie Rowe (Hetlerville, Pa./Central Columbia) has a goal and an assist for the Huskies. Senior Paige Harris (Danville, Pa./Danville Area) and junior Amanda Stoll (Farmingdale, N.Y./Farmingdale) have both scored for BU.
 
In goal, senior Riley Spingler (Langhorne, Pa./Neshaminy) has played every minute for the Huskies and has a 1.00 GAA. She's made 16 saves this season and has a pair of shutouts in the first four games.
 
The Huskies return to action on Wednesday when they head to PSAC East opponent Shepherd University for a 1:00 p.m. contest.
