I realized today that I haven’t put out any updates in about a month and with Hurricane Ian and such having impacted schedules and lives, I wanted to circle back and capture the updates regarding the SEU Fire Women’s Soccer team. I will use two sources for this post: Women’s Soccer – Southeastern University Athletics (seu.edu) page, the 2022 NAIA Women’s Soccer Ratings Calendar – NAIA page, and the Snoqualmie Valley Sports Journal – Bringing you the best coverage of Snoqualmie Valley sports (wordpress.com).

It’s been fun getting to watch the Top 25 team ranking throughout the year and how in week 5 the team is in 9th place.

A special accomplishment for the “Mad Dog,” plus the rest of the soccer and volleyball….. To soccer on this Sunday and we start with a special moment on the pitch in Campbellsville, KY, yesterday for the lower Valley’s “Mad Dog.” Cedarcrest HS alum Madelyn Davidson scored her first collegiate goal yesterday, for the Southeastern University of Florida women’s soccer squad. Davidson, a freshman this fall with Southeastern, intercepted an errant Campbellsville pass in the 87th minute and proceeded to roll back towards the Tiger goal untouched, firing a mid-range shot which went past the Campbellsville keeper and into the goal. The tally capped off a fantastic 4-1 win for the Fire which moved them to 5-1-1 on the season. Davidson, from Carnation, only played the final five minutes of the game, but as her dad noted to us, she made those minutes count. She ended up with a total of two shots, both on goal, with the one goal scored, as Southeastern finished off a weekend road swing into Bluegrass Country with the big road win. The Fire are off for the next week and a half but are back home next Thursday,

Colleges: “Mad Dog” makes her minutes count in Southeastern U. women’s win The Southeastern University women’s soccer team in Florida recorded their first win of the Sun Conference (NAIA) schedule last night, and did so in very dominating fashion with the help of a Valleyite. Carnation’s Madelyn “Mad Dog” Davidson scored a goal for the Fire as they turned on the heat in a big way. How about 14-0 big? Yup, that is not a misprint, but was the actual score as Southeastern blasted winless Florida Memorial in the conference contest, which took place down in Fort Lauderdale in the southern part of the state last night. Davidson, a freshman, scored the goal in the 33rd minute and was assisted by teammate Ariadna Lozadno, who finished with two assists in the contest. Davidson came off the bench and logged just 16 minutes of action for SEU, but the Cedarcrest HS grad made the most of the limited work, recording four shots, two on goal including the goal she scored, which was the second of her college career. She scored her first college goal in a game back on September 17 against Campbellsville of Kentucky in a 4-1 Fire win. They will be back home tomorrow in Lakeland, FL, hosting St. Thomas.
Soccer games smoked out…..plus news from the colleges
Soccer: Mad Dog’s two helpers aid Southeastern (FL) ladies to come-from-behind win Carnation’s Madelyn “Mad Dog” Davidson assisted on both of Southeastern University’s goals, as their women’s squad rallied from an early 1-0 hole to best St. Thomas of Florida last night 2-1 on home turf down in Lakeland, FL. The freshman, a Cedarcrest HS grad from this past June, aided goals by teammates Ariadna Lozano in the 40th minute which tied the game going into halftime, and Hanna Ryberg in the 78th minute for the game-winner. The win moves Southeastern to 8-1-1 on the season. They are back in action on Wednesday.
