Amanda d’Almeida
The showdown is coming.
Carleton College’s womens’ soccer squad, which includes Coupeville grad Amanda d’Almeida, is getting hot at the right time.
The Knights, coming off a 2-1 win Saturday over Augsburg College, are now 5-0-1 in league play, 8-3-1 overall. That puts them on a crash course to possibly play for the league title in two weeks.
Saturday, Oct. 25 Carleton will face off with Concordia College (6-0-1 in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) in Moorehead, Minnesota.
If the Knights can get past a pair of teams (Macalester College and Hamline University) that are both 1-4-1 currently, and barring any stumbles by Concordia, that would set up a rumble for the top spot in the 12-team league.
d’Almeida and her teammates would then wrap the regular season with matches against the University of St. Thomas (5-2) and St. Olaf College (3-2-1).
After having her playing time limited in the early going this season as she recovered from illness, the former Wolf star is now helping to anchor the Knights lineup, playing the full 90 minutes.
She’s played in 10 games, starting three, and has amassed 464 minutes on the pitch.
