SCOUTING THE GOLDEN EAGLES
The Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles are entering Tuesday's contest at 3-4, coming off a 1-0 double overtime loss to UT Martin. TTU finished the 2019 season with a 6-8-5 record, going 4-3-3 in OVC play.
SIUE and Tennessee Tech will meet for the 11th time on Tuesday, and the Golden Eagles hold a 5-3-2 lead in the all-time series. Last season, SIUE and the Golden Eagles fought to a 2-2 draw on September 26, 2019.
LAST TIME OUT
The Cougars fell for the first time this season on Friday night, dropping a 2-1 decision to league-leading Murray State under the lights at Korte Stadium.
Lily Schnieders netted the Cougars' only goal, neatly slotting a PK into the corner of the net in the 53rd minute.
MAKE ROOM IN THE TROPHY CASE
Lily Schnieders secured the first conference-level weekly award of her career on Sunday, earning the OVC Offensive Player of the Week award. Schnieders, who scored a pair of goals over two matches last week, joins
MacKenzie Litzsinger as the only two Cougars who have won the award this season.
A BALANCED ATTACK
Nine SIUE players have scored at least once through the first seven matches of the Spring 2021 season, led by
MacKenzie Litzsinger's five goals. In addition, 10 Cougars have assisted on at least one goal this season, leading to an incredibly balanced attack.
A LOOK BACK
The Cougars enter the Spring 2021 season coming off a 10-5-5 season in 2019, including a 5-2-3 record in
Ohio Valley Conference play. SIUE's success in the regular season earned them a spot in the OVC Tournament, where they fell to Belmont in a heartbreaking penalty shootout to decide the conference championship.
THE SEASON AHEAD
The OVC announced that women's soccer teams would play a 10-match conference-only schedule in Spring 2021, followed by a four-team tournament to determine the OVC champion. The schedule will use a round-robin format in which teams will play against every other team in the conference once.
