Coach Llanes on O'Donoghue Facillitating the Offense
»   "We were able to gain opportunities in our attacking end from the "behind the scenes" work from Haley (O'Donoghue). She worked hard to maintain possession and give us shooting opportunities."
 
KSU as a Team                              
»   Out of the 120 shots taken by the Owls, 87 of them have been on frame. They have a .725 percentage of putting their shots on target.
»   When the Owls are trying to get a clear, they've been very successful this season. Against Campbell, the team had a 100 percent clear rate, and for the season they get a clear out of the defensive end 72.4 percent of the time going 55 of 76.
»   The way Llanes set up the schedule this season, the returners and freshmen will have some strong competition leading into conference play, while also playing some programs that players are familiar with. Out of the ten non-conference matchups scheduled this season, the Owls will play five of the same teams that they played last year. Those teams are Elon, Vanderbilt, Davidson, Campbell and Coastal Carolina.
