    • 0-3 W-L, 2.86 GAA, 15 Saves, .600 SV%
• Team Notes:
  • Even though Kansas Wesleyan enters Wednesday night's contest with an 0-4 record, the Coyotes have been battle tested to start the 2024 season as KWU has faced four teams ranked in the NAIA Top 25 to start the season, most recently suffering a 2-0 defeat to No. 22 MidAmerica Nazarene on Saturday.
  • The Coyotes have been especially challenged on the offensive end, netting just one goal through the first four contests while attempting just 35 shots, averaging 8.8 per game with 4.5 being on-goal.
  • Defensively, KWU back line has been somewhat solid, allowing only 28 shots on-goal (7.0 per game) while junior goalkeeper Isabella Galvan has stopped 60-percent of the shots she's faced. The Coyotes have not given up more than three goals in any of their games this season. KWU will be tested to see if it can slow down a Mid-America Christian team that currently leads the SAC in shots per game at 29.5.
  • Despite playing in neighboring NAIA conferences in the Sooner Athletic Conference and Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference, the Evangels and Coyotes will be squaring off for the first time in the two programs' respective histories.
