THE WOLVES HEADING INTO THE WEEK
The Wolves continued holding opponents scoreless this past week - making it four games in a row, tied for the program's longest streak (2013) - thanks to a scoreless draw at Central Washington on Thursday and a 3-0 win at Saint Martin's on Saturday. Overall, the Wolves haven't given up a goal in 437 minutes, 33 seconds, also the second-longest streak in WOU history (the 2013 team went 496 minutes, 52 seconds during it's scoreless streak).

THE OPPONENTS HEADING INTO THE WEEK
Seattle Pacific, which sits just outside the D-II top 25 rankings, moved its unbeaten streak to nine last week (5-0-4) with home wins against Simon Frasier (3-2) and MSU Billings (3-1). It broke a two-match scoreless streak for the Falcons - which included a scoreless draw against Western Oregon on Oct. 12. SPU enters the match as the top scoring team in the GNAC at 2.0 goals per game.

MSU Billings is coming off a pair of losses at the top two teams in the conference - falling at first-place Western Washington 2-1 and at second-place SPU 3-1. It moved the Yellowjackets' winless streak to four matches (0-3-1), which started with a 1-0 loss at WOU on Oct. 10. MSUB is third in the conference in scoring average (1.5) and fourth in opponent average (1.00).

Garcia named GNAC Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week (Sept. 30)
WOU sophomore forward Ciara Garcia was named GNAC Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week after scoring 2 goals and recording an assist during the previous week. Garcia had a two-goal performance in the Wolves 4-2 win at Northwest Nazarene while also picking up an assist on the only goal scored during WOU's GNAC opener against Saint Martin's.

First 2-0 start to GNAC play in school history
With WOU's 2-0 start to conference play, the Wolves start conference play without a loss or tie for the first time since entering the GNAC in 2001. The last time WOU started conference play 2-0 was in 2000, starting 4-0 during its inaugural season in the NCAA as part of the PacWeat - the only year it would play as part of the conference. The last time the Wolves started conference play undefeated was in 2014 when they won, then tied.
