FAIRFAX, VA ... The women's soccer game between George Mason and Pennsylvania scheduled for Friday, Sept. 19, has been postponed due to the impending arrival of Hurricane Isabel. The contest has been rescheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 1, at 4 p.m. at George Mason Stadium.

This is the second time this season a George Mason women's soccer game has been postponed. The Patriots had their contest at Georgetown called off on Sept. 3 due to an unplayable field, and the contest was made-up on Sept. 9 as Mason took a 2-1 victory in overtime.

George Mason (3-1-2) entered the Mid-Atlantic Region rankings this week at a tie for 10th with Pennsylvania. The Patriots are ranked in the region for the first time since 2000.

Junior goalkeeper Sarah Coughlin tied her career high Sunday with 15 saves (the top mark in the CAA this season) in a 1-1 tie with North Carolina State and she is ranked second in the conference with 6.00 saves per game (36 in six contests). She also has a 1.08 GAA, ranking her fourth in the league. Sophomore Amy Alecci paces the offense with three goals (seventh in the CAA at 0.50 per game) and six points (tied for eighth at 1.00 per game), while sophomore Amy Sorenson is tied for ninth in the league with 0.33 goals per game (two in six games).

George Mason returns to action Sunday as it hosts Arkansas at 11 a.m.
