TUCSON, Ariz. – Following a successful four-match home stand that saw Sun Devil Soccer not drop a result, Arizona State will now take the momentum on the road – I-10 specifically – where ASU will take on Dartmouth (4 p.m. MST) at Mulcahy Stadium in Tucson on Thursday, Sept. 3.
Television:
- Arizona has opted to not broadcast Thursday’s neutral site match between Arizona State and Dartmouth.
Series History:
- Thursday will mark just the third all-time meeting between Arizona State and Dartmouth and the first since Sept. 18, 2005, when the Big Green won, 2-1, in double overtime in Hanover, N.H.
- While the Sun Devils and Big Green have never played in Tucson, the two have played in Arizona before as the two met in Tempe on Sept. 17, 2004, when then-No. 9 ASU won 3-2.
Kicking Off:
- Thursday afternoon’s match will mark the first time Arizona State has played a neutral site match against a non-Arizona opponent in Tucson since Sept. 10, 2023, when the Sun Devils fell to Texas Tech, 1-0, at the Arizona Classic.
- The match against the Red Raiders remains the only non-conference regular season loss for the Sun Devils over the last five seasons.
- A clean sheet by the Sun Devil defense on Thursday would mark the fourth consecutive clean sheet for Arizona State, marking just the fourth time ASU has recorded such a streak.
- It would be the first four-match clean sheet streak since Aug. 21 – Sept. 11, 2015.
- The program record is five consecutive matches, which last happened on Sept. 13 – Sept. 29, 2002.
- A 90-minute clean sheet by first-year Sun Devil goalkeeper Kennedy Zorn would extend Arizona State’s consecutive shutout minutes to over 427, which would be the third-longest streak in program history and longest since Sept. 13 – Oct. 6, 2002.
- As an individual, Zorn has played 319 consecutive minutes in net without allowing a goal, which is the 15th-longest streak in program history.
- A 90-minute clean sheet against the Big Green would push that total to 409 and become just the sixth streak in ASU history to surpass 400 consecutive shutout minutes played.
- Ten Sun Devils – Miki Hayashi (2), Bela Puccinelli (2), Lucy Fazackerley (1), Kierra Blundell (1), Ella Kettles (1), Sierra Bergen (1), Jenna Whinney (1), Mya Angus (1), Maja Madon (1), Emmie Ennis (1) – have already scored at least one goal this season. If another ASU student-athlete adds their name to that list, it would be the 11th different goal scorer for head coach Graham Winkworth this season, tying for the most different goal scorers in a single season for ASU under Winkworth’s guidance.
- As an individual, Zorn has played 319 consecutive minutes in net without allowing a goal, which is the 15th-longest streak in program history.
- It would be the first four-match clean sheet streak since Aug. 21 – Sept. 11, 2015.
