BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - The Illinois Wesleyan University women's soccer team takes a break in its conference schedule to face No. 3 Washington University in St. Louis at Neis Field Wednesday, Oct. 20. The game is scheduled to start at 5 p.m.

The Titans moved to a record of 6-6-1 and 3-1 in conference play. The Bears are 11-0-1 and 4-0 in conference play. WashU has been consistently ranked in the top-five of the United Soccer Coaches Association Top-25 Poll all season and have been No. 3. on the list for fifth straight weeks.

The Titans return to the field after a successful 2-0 conference week. IWU traveled to North Central College Wednesday, Oct. 13 to faceoff with the Cardinals. The Titans ended up victorious and left Naperville, Ill. with a 2-1 win. Junior Maggie Peters (Normal, Ill.-Normal Community) scored her first collegiate goal and opened up the scoring for the Green and White. Senior Erin Peck (Wheaton, Ill.-Wheaton St. Francis) finished the job with the game-winning goal, a first of her career as well.

As part of Senior Day celebrations Saturday, Oct. 16, the Titans honored its large senior class with a 2-1 win over Augustana College. Peck opened up the scoring with her second goal of the season. Senior Caelyn Steffens (Normal, Ill.-Normal Community) secured the Titans' win with her game-winning goal to mark her 45th career collegiate goal (26 with Wis.-Platteville, 18 with Ill. Wesleyan).
