CHICAGO -

Opening Kickoff – Chicago State women's soccer opens Western Athletic Conference play this weekend with a pair of home games at Gwendolyn Brooks High School Field. The Green and White open their conference slate tomorrow afternoon against CSU Bakersfield then host WAC newcomer California Baptist on Sunday with both games having a start time of 1 p.m.

Scouting CSU – CSU heads into the first conference weekend looking to snap an eight-game losing streak after concluding its non-conference schedule last Saturday with a 5-0 defeat at Purdue Fort Wayne which closed a short two-game road swing. Leading the Cougars in scoring is freshman forward/midfielder Marissa Beale (Frazier Park, Calif./Bakersfield Christian) and junior midfielder/forward Sara Quevedo (Lomo Blanco, Spain) with six points. Beale has scored a team-best three goals and Quevedo has dished out a team-leading two assists, while senior Audra Wisehart (Sandusky, Ohio/Huron) has produced 55 saves over seven games in goal this season.

Scouting CSUB – Winners of two of its last three contests since Sept. 14, CSU Bakersfield brings a season record of 3-6 into tomorrow's showdown at Brooks after ending a three-game homestand last Friday with a 2-1 overtime victory over Pacific. Redshirt junior midfielder Aryana Harvey leads the Roadrunners in scoring with five points on two goals and an assist on the year. Junior goalkeeper Jordan Bertram has posted team highs of 52 saves, a 1.53 goals-against-average and a .788 saves percentage with two shutout victories for CSUB.

Series History – CSU Bakersfield has produced a 4-0 advantage all-time against Chicago State dating back to CSU's first season in the WAC in 2014. The Roadrunners came back from a 1-0 halftime deficit in last season's meeting in Bakersfield on Oct. 15, 2017 to earn a 6-1 victory over the Cougars.

Scouting CBU – California Baptist opens its first weekend of WAC play tomorrow at Seattle U with a season record of 7-1-1 while extending its unbeaten streak to six game in a row following a 3-2 home win over Hope International and a 3-2 victory at Cal Poly last weekend. The Lancers are paced by senior midfielder Desarae Felix as she has tallied team highs of seven goals and 16 points, while redshirt junior defender Rebecca Romero leads the team in assists with five. In goal, sophomore Romy Salvador has produced a 5-0-1 season record with a 0.71 goals-against-average, an .821 saves percentage and 23 saves.

Series History – Sunday's matchup marks the first-ever meeting between Chicago State and California Baptist on the soccer field. The Lancers mark the third first-time opponent for the Cougars joining UMass and Purdue Fort Wayne.

Up Next – CSU travels to the northwest next week for its first WAC road trip which begins on Oct. 5 against defending WAC Tournament champion Utah Valley at Clyde Field in Orem, Utah with the opening kickoff at 12 p.m.
