• A top 15 women's soccer matchup awaits when No. 15 Cal State San Marcos heads to No. 5 Concordia (Calif.) in the NAIA Women's Soccer Match of the Week.
• The Eagles, led by coach Chris Gould, have won four-of-five matches. With a win on Wednesday, Concordia would extend its winning streak to three games.
• The only slip-up in September for the Eagles came on the road at the hands of defending national champion and top-ranked Concordia (Ore.), 2-1, on Sept. 7.
• Cal State San Marcos will be the third ranked team Concordia will line up against so far this season. The Eagles are 0-2 in those contests, with the second loss coming on Aug. 29 to No. 6 Embry-Riddle (Fla.), 4-3.
• September will continue to be a tough test for Concordia, as four-ranked opponents are on the schedule in a nine-game stretch, including three top-18 matches in a row that begins with the Cougars on Wednesday. A Golden State Athletic Conference (GSAC) home date with No. 18 The Master's (Calif.) awaits on Sept. 24, followed by a road trip to No. 12 Vanguard (Calif.) on Sept. 27.
• Cal State San Marcos enters Friday's game looking to bounce back from a 1-0 loss at home to No. 18 the Master's on Sept. 12.
• The Eagles are the Cougars' second-consecutive ranked opponent, and only the second road game so far in 2014. On Sept. 6, Cal State San Marcos defeated NCAA Division II Cal State Dominguez Hills, 2-0.
• Friday's visit to Irvine is the only match away from home Cal State San Marcos will play in a six game stretch, as the team won't hit the road again until an Oct. 4 tilt with NCAA Division III Mills (Calif.).
• Offense has been a struggle so far for the Cougars as the team has not scored more than two goals in any game this year. Concordia has scored three-or-more times in five contests this season.
• Senior forward Amy Young looks to spark the Cal State San Marcos offensive attack. She leads the squad with two scores, including a goal in the win over Cal State Dominguez Hills.
• The Cougars have only registered four hits to the back of the net in four games and looks to avoid being shutout for the third time this season.
