THE RECORDS
Linfield (2-9, 1-6 NWC) enters the week fresh off its first conference win of the season over Lewis & Clark, snapping a nine-match losing streak. The Wildcats are hungry to keep the momentum rolling this week with matches against George Fox and Willamette. George Fox (7-2-1, 3-2-1 NWC) is just one win away from matching last season's conference win total after splitting last week's matches with a loss to Pacific Lutheran and a 1-0 win against Puget Sound. Willamette (1-6-3, 1-3-2 NWC) finds itself in the bottom half of the conference table and struggling to find its footing amid a three-match skid. Linfield will take on George Fox at home before traveling to Salem for the matchup with Willamette.
 
LINFIELD AT A GLANCE
The Wildcats are coming off their most complete match of the season where they beat Lewis & Clark 2-1. E.J. Sablan spearheads the Linfield attack with five goals, good for fifth in the NWC.
