WINONA, Minn. - The Winona State University women's soccer team will host it's second home match of the year today, as Northern Michigan University comes to town for a 5pm kickoff.
For the Warriors (0-1, 0-0 NSIC), the matchup with the Wildcats (2-0, 0-0 GLIAC) represents the second and final non-conference tune-up opportunity before heading into their NSIC slate later this month.
Jaida Wiege found the back of the net for Winona State in their first game of the season last week, but WSU fell short in a 3-1 setback to the University of Wisconsin Parkside. Wiege's tally came off of an assist by
Missy Greco, while goalkeeper
Yanel Ortiz had two stops in the game. The Warriors created several quality offensive chances against the Rangers, and head coach
Matt Kellogg will be looking for the Winona State attack to continue to click in the final third today.
Winona State owns a 4-0 record against NMU in recent years and the Wildcats come into today's contest at 2-0, having dispatched St. Cloud State 3-0 on Sept. 2 and beating the University of Minnesota Duluth, 5-1 on Sept. 4. The two teams last played in 2019, a 3-2 Warrior win in Marquette, Mich.
