A graduate student from Stony Point, New York, Nicole Solicito was pivotal for Mount Olive in its impressive 0-0 tie with Lenoir-Rhyne. The goalkeeper made eight big saves in a game in which Lenoir-Rhyne finished with a 21-6 overall shot advantage.
Solicito has not allowed a goal in her 135 minutes in goal in the 2023 season. She started the first half and did not give up a goal in Mount Olive’s eventual 2-1 season-opening loss to Lincoln Memorial on Aug. 31 with all three goals coming in the second half. Solicito then logged all 90 minutes in goal in the 0-0 tie with Lenoir-Rhyne on Sept. 2.
