13 Games In
Through its first 13 matches, the Leathernecks sit at (1-12-0), having opened with a strong 2–0 win over St. Ambrose, followed by twelve tough losses, with the most recent being a loss against Tennessee Tech on the road.

Opportunity for Second Win

The matchup provides Western Illinois with a chance to get back in the win column. Facing an SIUE squad that has opened the year 1-9-2, the Leathernecks will look to take advantage and generate momentum as conference play continues.

Offensive Threats

Abigail Schilling has stepped up as one of Western's top scoring threats this season, netting two goals to lead the Leatherneck attack. She is now tied for leading the team in goals this year with Kayla Turner. Claire Brown also added her first goal of the year in the last match against Tennessee Tech. 

Scouting SIUE (1-9-2)

SIUE has struggled to find consistency this season, scoring just nine goals across 12 matches while conceding 31 on the defensive end. The Cougars are averaging only 0.75 goals per game, compared to 2.58 allowed, a gap that has put them in difficult positions throughout the year.
