PIONEERS HEADED TO SA

A LOOK AT STMU: St. Mary's enters Wednesday's contest following tough LSC losses to UT Dallas and No. 5 DBU. Their lone win came on Sept. 13 against East Central at Sigma Beta Chi Field. Despite TWU's recent success, the Rattlers lead the all-time series 5-2-3. The Pioneers won their last matchup in 2024, which marked Head Coach Babak Abouzar's 100th career victory. St. Mary's hasn't defeated TWU at home since 2006, when they won 3-0. Offensively, Shelby Paniagua and Malia Dominguez will be key for the Rattlers as they try to match the Pioneers' high-powered attack.

A LOOK AT MSU: Midwestern State earned their first win of the season in a 2-1 battle against UTD and will face Lubbock Christian before coming to Denton. The Mustangs lead the all-time series against TWU, 18-9-6. Their last two visits to Pioneer Soccer Park resulted in an overtime win in the 2023 LSC Tournament and a 2024 draw featuring two late goals.
