Blue Demons Take Undefeated Road Streak to Providence

CHICAGO – Heading to Rhode Island for the first of two East Coast matchups in the next seven days, the DePaul women's soccer team clashes with the Providence Friars on Oct. 24. The match is scheduled to begin at 12 p.m. CT, with coverage on ESPN+.

With both DePaul and Providence part of a five-way tie at six points alongside Seton Hall, Butler, and UConn, a victory is critical for the Blue Demons to continue the chase for Creighton (8 points) and Georgetown (9 points).

The Blue Demons also look to extend their undefeated road streak to six games with a victory.

DePaul Debrief
The Blue Demons took an early two-point lead in the first 17 minutes against Georgetown on Wednesday and played to a 2-2 draw at home.

Senior midfielder Shayna da Silva leaped into action early, scoring in the 7th minute with an assist from freshman forward Katelyn Haiser. Ten minutes later, Haiser dashed downfield to double DePaul's lead to a 2-0 advantage, assisted by junior midfielder Mia Veldman and freshman midfielder Carolina Capizzi.

The Blue Demons held the Hoyas without a shot on goal in the first half.

In the second half, Georgetown came back strong and found the back of the net in the 60th minute. Senior goalkeeper Mason Hillery made three second-half saves but couldn't stop the Hoyas from leveling the game in the 81st minute.

The Blue Demons held on for the remainder of the match, but late attempts by Haiser, Capizzi, and junior defender Dory Latenser didn't meet their mark. DePaul moved to a 1-2-3 conference record with the result.

Scouting Providence
The Friars host the Blue Demons after a 2-0 shutout over St. John's and their first BIG EAST win. In their last four matches, Providence recorded one win, two draws and one loss.

In their most recent tussle with the Red Storm, Providence struck early. Redshirt-sophomore Amaya Coffie scored her second goal of the season in the 15th minute on an assist from Emma Gregorski. Gregorski notched her first career goal in the 85th minute, giving the Friars an insurance goal and a 2-0 lead.

Goalkeeper Caitlin Daley executed five saves and recorded her first full-game shutout of the season.

In the 2026 campaign, Daley started six of her 15 total appearances and executed 51 saves.

Freshman Jocy Koffi leads the Providence roster with six of the Friars' 20 goals this season. Signe Tingager sits close behind with four goals, and seven different players make up the remainder of the scoring tallies.

Series History
DePaul and Providence go head-to-head for the 23rd time in history on Saturday. The two programs' series record is nearly even, though the Friars hold a slight 8-7-7 edge. The last three meetings ended in a draw, with a 2-2 result in Chicago in 2025, a 1-1 decision in Rhode Island in 2024 and another 1-1 finish in 2023. The last time DePaul beat the Friars was in 2016, with a 2-1 victory at Wish Field.
