Women’s Soccer looks for sixth-straight NAC victory Wednesday
MEQUON, Wis. - Winning five
consecutive Northern Athletics Conference matches isn't enough for
the Concordia University Wisconsin women's soccer team as they look
to add another win against league-foe MSOE on Wednesday at 4 p.m.
at Fitting Field.

The Falcons' (5-3-0, 5-0-0 NAC)
offense has been in overdrive this season, scoring a NAC-best 32
goals in conference play. They have posted three shutouts in
conference action and have held two more league opponents to a
single tally.
Junior Lauren Straehler
(Pewaukee, Wis.) leads a barrage of 14 CUW players who have found
the scoring column. She also leads the team with five assists,
while senior Kelli Wittenberg (Sturtevant, Wis.) has assisted on
four goals of her own.
CUW leads all NAC teams -
conference play only - in goals (32), assists (23), goals against
average (0.47 per match), and shots per match (35.0). The Falcons
defense has been just as impressive as the offense and has recorded
just seven saves, tied for fewest in the league.
MSOE (4-4-0, 2-1-0 NAC) and CUW
have had some exciting battles over the past four years. The two
squads are 2-2-1 in the last five meetings, with the Falcons
winning the last matchup - a 1-0 NAC Tournament win in
Milwaukee.
The Raiders' Jessica Axt leads
the NAC and is ranked second nationally (DIII) in goals scored with
14, as of Sept. 25. Jamie Janczak leads the league in assists (14)
and is ranked third nationally (DIII), as of Sept. 25.
CUW continues their
four-match homestand on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. against Aurora
University. The match is the second part of a
doubleheader following the Falcon men's matchup. Saturday is also
Concordia Family Day.
