GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.- After returning home from Texas, the Colorado Mesa University women's soccer team will hit the road once again as they travel to Washington for a two-game slate against Western Oregon and Seattle Pacific at Interbay Stadium. 

The Mavs will play Western Oregon on Sept. 10 at 2 p.m. and then play Seattle Pacific on Sept. 12 at 12 p.m. Both matches will be streamed on the GNAC Network (paid subscription required) and have live stats.

Week in Review

So far Jenelle Arenibas leads the team in shots with five. Shelby Lyon, Vanessa Pirrello, Katelyn Romano and Coral Turner have also registered a shot on goal. Keely Wieczorek started in goal for both games and made eight total saves while Brynnlee Williams would get some time in net and make a save while conceding no goals.

The last time these two teams played was in 2022, where the Wolves would come out on top 3-2. The Wolves come into the match with a 1-1-1 record with their lone win coming against Chico State 1-0. They would falter against the number 12 ranked Colorado School of Mines and draw against the University of Mary.

Kassie Carpenter and Abby Doyle have also scored a goal to begin the season with Charlotte Barton and Grace Townsend tacking on an assist each. Goalkeeper Ayanah Soon has made 18 saves in her three starts, only conceding three goals to start off the season.
