WOLVES FOOTBALL HITS THE ROAD TO START LSC PLAY
The Western Oregon football team embarks on its second year of Lone Star Conference play as the Wolves head to Southeast New Mexico to take on Eastern New Mexico 11 a.m. (PT) Saturday at Greyhound Stadium.

WOU is coming off its first victory of the season, defeating Lincoln (CA) 29-14 on Saturday - scoring the first 29 points of the game before cruising to the win. Gannon Winker threw for 232 yards and a pair of scores, Dominique Loggins accounted for 104 yards (63 rushing, 41 receiving) and two touchdowns and Isaiah Abraham had six tackles, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

Eastern New Mexico enters Saturday 2-0 on the season, defeating New Mexico Highlands at home 28-26 on Aug. 31 and defeating Sul Ross State 51-12 on the road last Saturday. The Greyhounds are an option, run-heavy team that have ran the ball 103 out of their 116 plays this season (averaging 261.5 yards per game on the ground, 86 yards through the air).

The Wolves defeated ENMU 46-7 last season in Monmouth - the first time in three meetings WOU has defeated the Greyhounds (lost to ENMU at home 35-27 in 2019 and 19-14 in 2018 in Portales).

WOU VOLLEYBALL OPENS GNAC PLAY IN HOME OPENERS THIS WEEK
The WOU volleyball team begins conference play this week in its first two home matches of the season as the Wolves host Seattle Pacific 7 p.m. Thursday and MSU Billings 7 p.m. Saturday at New PE Building.

The Wolves are coming off a 2-2 performance at the Mountain Lion Classic this past week, defeating Bemidji State and Western Colorado and falling to UCCS and Nebraska Kearney to move to 6-2 on the season. 

WOU dropped both matches to SPU (6-2 this season) last season and has one win in its last 12 meetings (2021 at home). Against MSUB (2-6), WOU won both matches a year ago - sweeping the Yellowjackets on the road and winning in four at home.

WOLVES MEN'S SOCCER HOSTS HOME OPENER SATURDAY AGAINST CCU
WOU men's soccer hosts its first home game of the season in its final pre-conference contest as the Wolves host Colorado Christian noon Saturday.

WOU dropped a pair of contests on the road last week to fall to 2-2 on the season (already matching last season's win total in its inaugural season), losing at Cal State Dominguez Hills and Cal State San Marcos.

The Cougars enter this week 1-0-2 and haven't allowed a goal this season (played to scoreless draws against St. Cloud State and Newman while defeating William Jewell 3-0). CCU prior to Saturday takes on Saint Martin's on 1:30 p.m. Thursday in Monmouth.
