THE RECORDS
Aiming to snap a four match losing streak, Linfield (5-15, 2-11 NWC) prepares to recover from a Washington road trip where it dropped matches to Whitworth and Whitman. Going into the final three matches of the season, the Wildcats sit at eighth place in the Northwest Conference standings and look toward their matchup with Lewis & Clark (0-18, 0-11 NWC) who is one place below Linfield in the standings at ninth. Earlier this season, Linfield traveled to Portland and swept the Pioneers 3-0.
 
LINFIELD AT A GLANCE
Nora Myre continues to impress from the front line, ranking fourth in the Northwest Conference with 2.85 kills per set. The emergence of Araeya Watanabe has been a pleasant site for the Wildcats as she has skyrocketed up the conference leaderboard to seventh place with 2.73 kills per set. Paige Richards remains a steady presence on the back line, tallying 192 digs on the season to bolster the Linfield defense. Madison Millard has been making a name for herself in her freshman campaign, proving to be a force at the net with 46 blocks on the season.
 
LEWIS & CLARK AT A GLANCE
The Pioneers are allowing the highest hitting percentage in the conference at .207, a number that Linfield will look to build on. Bethany Ballesteros captains the defense with 195 digs in her final season while Kelsie Nakashima adds 131. Offensively, Annika Traxler threatens with 163 kills at a .097 clip. Ella Ruark is the other Pioneer with triple figure kills at 101. Traxler has also proven to be dangerous from the back line with a team high 27 service aces, good for tenth place in the NWC.
 
SERIES HISTORY
Linfield dominates the all-time series against the Pioneers 46-16. The Wildcats are 5-1 over the last six and boast a 24-6 home record that they will look to build on this Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Ted Wilson Gymnasium.
