ON A ROLL

STRIKER STRIKES AGAIN: Freshman Alyssa Striker has scored in all three games for the Pioneers. As a freshman, she has started in all three games. Her three goals on the season currently ranks third in the LSC. Look for Alyssa Striker to be a difference maker on Saturday against SNU.
CRIMSON STORM: In their opening three matches, SNU has scored eight goals. They have also recorded 41 shots on the season. TWU has had a strong defensive back line in their opening matches. Goalkeeper Amanda Farris has only conceded one goal in three games, and she has recorded 10 saves on the season.
HISTORY LESSON: The Pioneers and Crimson Storm have only met twice, and they have not played each other since 2018. TWU owns the all-time record 2-0. When the two teams met in Denton in 2017, the Pioneers won 4-0. Then, in 2018, TWU traveled to Bethany, Okla. and defeated the Crimson Storm 2-1.
