Players to watch: In her fifth season with the program, Jenna Lundgren has continued to be a key part of the team's midfield.

She's third on the team in goals scored with three and recorded an assist in the team's 4-1 victory against IUPUI on Sept. 12.
 
Zoe Clarke has been a regular contributor for the team this season and is top-10 among Leathernecks in minutes played. She's appeared in every game this season, making seven starts.

So far this season: WIU women's soccer is currently in the midst of a strong stretch of performances, winning seven of their last nine - a stretch that included six-straight victories.
