SENIOR NIGHT
#1 Danielle LeRoy (Tampa, Fla./H.B. Plant HS)
The Tampa, Fla. native has appeared in three matches in her career, making two starts during the 2012 campaign. She made her collegiate debut opposite Lynn University and recorded her first victory to open up that season before making four saves against nationally ranked UCF. She has been a supportive presence both on the sidelines and in the locker room for the Green and Blue during the most successful four-year run in program history.

#2 Brooke Sill (Lake Zurich, Ill./Eastern Illinois University)
The Lake Zurich, Ill. native has appeared in 15 games for the Eagles in her two-year career and has become one of the most successful dual-sport athletes that FGCU has ever had. Splitting her time between soccer and cross country this season, she has gone on to lead the Eagles on the trails by posting the best time on the team in four of her five meets this season including a time of 17:58.35 at the UF Mountain Dew Invitational which is the third-fastest time in women's cross country history. She has been a part of two A-Sun Regular Season Championships with the women's soccer team and has never lost to an A-Sun opponent.

#23 Kaila Browe (Kendall, N.Y./Kendall Central HS)
The Kendall, N.Y. native has appeared in 16 games for the Green and Blue over the past two seasons. The first point of her career came in the form of an assist in the Eagles' 2-1 victory over Mississippi State last season and her first goal came in a 7-0 win over USC Upstate on senior day a year ago. This season, Browe has seen action in nine matches, logging 93 minutes. As one of the Eagles emotional leaders, Browe has helped the Green and Blue to four A-Sun Regular Season Championships during her career.

#9 Julia Roddar
The Falun, Sweden native has played and started in all 58 matches since joining the Eagles following her freshman campaign at Wisconsin. Roddar scored one goal and handed out a career-best four assists as a sophomore, helping the Eagles to a second-straight A-Sun Tournament Championship and trip to the NCAA Tournament. Last season Julia collected a pair of goals and assists and has grown this season into one of the most technically proficient players on the field for FGCU. As a senior she has handed out two assists and scored her first goal of the year in the Eagles' 4-0 win over Palm Beach Atlantic on Wednesday. FGCU is 20-1-3 against A-Sun competition since Roddar's arrival with three A-Sun Regular Season Championships.

#8 Melissa Arnold (Sicklerville, N.J./Timber Creek Regional HS)
The Sicklerville, N.J. native is serving in her second season as a captain for the Eagles and has been a true leader throughout the athletic department on and off the field for her entire four-year career. She is currently the president of Eagles Council and works in facilities to go along with her commitment to the women's soccer program.

She scored four goals and handed out three assists for a career-high 11 points as a freshman, earning her a spot on the A-Sun All-Freshmen Team, then helped to Eagles to a second-consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance as a sophomore. She led the A-Sun with eight assists last season and has scored once to go with four more assists this season earning one A-Sun Defensive Player of the Week distinction thanks in large-part to her assist of the Eagles' game-winning goal in overtime at Kennesaw State just a few weeks ago.

She has handed out 17 helpers throughout her career which rank fourth in FGCU history and has appeared in 78 games in her career which are tied for second in the program record book - only her teammate Shannen Wacker has appeared in more games (79) among active players. Arnold also ranks fourth all-time with 6131 minutes played in her career and has never lost at home to an A-Sun opponent, a streak that spans 16 matches.

#13 Shannen Wacker
The Parker, Colo. native has been to this point, statistically, one the best players in FGCU women's soccer history. As a freshman she scored three goals and handed out four assists then exploded for 11 goals as a sophomore and a team-high 25 points en route to being named a first team All-Conference selection, guiding the Eagles to a second NCAA Tournament in two seasons. In 2013, Wacker scored seven more goals and handed out a then-career best five assists and was named to the All-Conference second team and the All-Academic team for a second time.

This season Wacker has scored six goals and has matched the FGCU single-season record with 12 assists. With her first assist at La Salle this year Wacker became the new FGCU all-time points leader and was the first player in program history to reach the 70-point plateau.

HIGHEST RPI
The NCAA Women's Soccer RPI was released on Monday as well and the Eagles fall in at No. 41 which is by far the best in the A-Sun and a program best this late in the season. The Green and Blue finished at No. 67 last season but have already matched their 2013 win total and will have a chance to best the program record of 14 wins prior to the end of the regular season.

Before the season began, FGCU had seven teams on the 2014 slate that finished ranked inside the top 83 in the RPI, three of which were ranked 15th or better. Those seven teams included Arizona (83), Miami (73), La Salle (63), USF (53), Texas A&M (15), South Carolina (14) and UCF (13). Texas A&M currently sits at No. 5 in the latest RPI rankings and South Carolina falls in at No. 10 while inclement weather and lightning prevented FGCU from playing No. 24 UCF to begin the season. The Eagles claimed crucial victories over La Salle and Arizona who now rank at 21 and 27, respectively.

BRITTANY BROWN
Earlier Monday FGCU goalkeeper Brittany Brown was named the Atlantic Sun Defensive Player of the Week after securing a shutout opposite JU. Brown made four saves in the 2-0 win over the Dolphins to preserve her eighth shutout of the season and 26th of her career.

The junior now leads the A-Sun in save percentage (.849) and goals-against average (0.69) after being named the A-Sun Preseason Goalkeeper of the Year. Since taking over the starting role during her freshman campaign, Brown has collected 39 wins, which rank second all-time (42), against just nine losses and seven ties. She is currently the FGCU career leader in three goalkeeping categories including goals-against average (0.70), saves per game (3.70) and save percentage (.841).

TABBY – Ranked as No. 92 Player in the Nation by TopDrawerSoccer.com
Tindell provided the eventual game-winning score in the 14th minute opposite JU when Kasun found the Ocala native in the middle of the field who then drove through the center of the defense from 30 yards away from goal and moved into the box before firing a low shot past the JU goalkeeper for the go-ahead score. With an assist against Palm Beach Atlantic, the Ocala native has now registered at least one point in each of the Eagles' ten-consecutive wins.

The sophomore scored her single-season record tying 15th goal of the season just eight seconds into the Eagles' 2-1 win over Lipscomb (Oct. 12) which is the fastest goal scored to start a game in FGCU history, tied for the fastest in A-Sun history and tied for sixth fastest in NCAA history. She also added a pair of assists over the weekend en route to being named to the TopDrawerSoccer.com National Team of the Week for the third time this season.

Wacker took the opening kick against Lipscomb and carried it straight down the center of the field before serving the ball through to Tindell just as she crossed into the box. Tindell took one touch and slid the ball past the diving goalkeeper for the score. The goal was Tindell's 30th of her career making the Ocala native the first player in program history to reach that mark while also making her the second player in program history to reach the 70-point plateau.

Tindell has been named the A-Sun Player of the Week three times this season and for an A-Sun record six times in her career en route to breaking the FGCU career goals record in just her 29th career game three weeks ago.

With 31 goals and 11 assists (73 points) in her career Tindell now ranks second on the all-time points list behind only Wacker (78 points) after becoming the fourth individual to reach the 50-point plateau with two goals opposite Wofford and the third to reach 60 points with a pair of goals opposite UNF. She is also now the FGCU all-time leader with 12 game-winning goals.

Tindell leads the A-Sun with 16 goals and has a comfortable lead with 39 points, which exceed her own FGCU single-season record of 34 points. The next closest individuals are Wacker and Speckmaier with 24 and 19, respectively. The first non-FGCU player on the A-Sun points list is Macy Hamblin of Northern Kentucky (16 pts).

There has been no sophomore slump for Tindell who put together one of, if not the greatest individual seasons in program history in just her first year suiting up for the Green and Blue. She established single-season program records in points (34), goals (15), goals per game (0.75), shots (71), shots per game (3.55), shots on goal (44) and shots on goal per game (2.20) and is well on her way to challenging those marks again.

LATELY
Since dropping a 2-0 result to No. 16 South Carolina on Sept. 14 on a neutral field, the Eagles have outscored their opponents 29-4 with six shutouts, including a 14-2 advantage against A-Sun competition. FGCU is 6-2 on the road this season and 8-0 at home.
