THE RECORDS
Linfield (1-9, 0-6 NWC) enters the week eager to find the back of the net after being held scoreless over the past three matches. In those matches, Linfield has allowed 11 goals, but has seen consistent progress on both sides of the ball. Lewis & Clark (0-7, 0-3 NWC) finds itself battling for its first win of the season. The Pioneers only recently created a men's soccer program and this will be their first season participating in NWC competition.
 
LINFIELD AT A GLANCE
The Wildcats suffered two home defeats last week and remain searching for their first Northwest Conference win. E.J. Sablan remains Linfield's goal-scoring leader with four while Sid Kosaris, Cameron Gaines, Reece Gaines and Sam Haynes each have one. Goalkeepers Colby Reese and Jacob Toves anchor the Linfield defense. Reese has 23 saves on the season while Toves comes in with 20.
 
LEWIS & CLARK AT A GLANCE
The Pioneers continue the search for their first win in program history after an 0-3 start in NWC play. Lewis & Clark men's soccer program was founded in 2022 and have gone 0-33-1 in that time span. The Pioneers have two goals on the season, Ishan Abraham and Ben Schwartz each scoring one. Four goalkeepers have seen playing time this season with Micaiah Garan recording a team-high 18 saves in five appearances.
 
SERIES HISTORY
Wednesday will be the first NWC matchup between the two programs. Linfield holds a 4-0 edge in the all-time series, outscoring the Pioneers 14-2 in the four nonconference wins.
