THE EAGLES WILL LAND IN DENTON

• A LOOK AT OC: Oklahoma Christian will enter Wednesday's match against the Pioneers at 3-1 after going 2-1 in its last three matches before traveling to Lubbock to take on LCU. The Eagles have yet to find success against TWU in the all-time series but will look to change that when they come to town seeking their first conference win of 2026. OC's most recent win came against Newman on Saturday, when the Eagles secured their third shutout of the season.

• A  LOOK AT THE PIONEERS: TWU's offense has been solid so far this season after facing an ultimate test in its last match against defensive-minded Colorado Mesa in a rematch of last year's regional opening-round matchup. The Pioneers came out on top, 1-0, after a second-half goal from Concepcion Maya. Over the first four matches, the Pioneers have recorded 69 total shots with a 55.1% shots-on-goal rate. They have eight assists on their 10 goals and have generated 27 corner kicks. Defensively, the Pioneers have allowed just one goal this season, which came against Hawai'i Pacific. Goalkeeper Faith Graves has recorded three saves on 19 shots faced and has earned all four wins in 335 minutes in goal.

PIONEERS TO THE STATE CAPITOL

• A LOOK AT THE HILLTOPPERS: SEU has started the season 0-2-1 and will look for its first win when Nova Southeastern and TWU come to town this week. In their previous two games, the Hilltoppers faced tough RMAC opponents UCCS and Regis on the road, falling 3-1 and 2-1, respectively. They will look to defend home turf and pick up a pair of wins. St. Edward's lead the all-time series against TWU 10-5-2.
