The Series:
The two programs have met a total of six times in their individual histories, with the last match taking place on Oct. 7, 2017, in a 3-0 Knights victory. Overall, Wartburg leads the series by a record of 4-2, including winning two straight over the Prairie Wolves.
 
Wartburg
The Knights (7-4-1 overall, 1-1-1 ARC) are coming off of a 1-1 double-overtime tie against the University of Dubuque on Wednesday. The Knights are lead in scoring by a trio of forwards. Senior Nicole Adair (Reinbeck) and freshmen Joy Smith (Polk City) lead the way with six goals each, while senior Alyssa Drewelow (Cedar Rapids) trails with four goals of her own. The three Knights have combined for 16 goals and seven assists for 39 points. Freshmen goalkeeper Marissa Lopez (Ankeny) has provided a strong presence in the box, as she has earned five wins and compiled 48 saves with two shutouts. Lopez's stingy defense plays a large role in the Knights only allowing nine goals all year to opposing teams.
 
The race to 96
Head coach Tiffany Pins needs only seven more victories to tie the all-time women's soccer career victories at Wartburg, set by former coach Jim Conlon (2000-07). The Knights have five more regular season games before the American Rivers Conference Tournament gets rolling.
