BLOOMINGTON, Ill. – The Illinois Wesleyan University women's soccer team hits the road Wednesday, Oct. 7 for a midweek matchup against Elmhurst University at Langhorst Field. Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m.

The Titans remain unbeaten going into their third College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin contest. IWU came back from a 1-nil deficit late in the second half, Oct. 3 to beat Carthage College, 2-1, on Homecoming. Sophomore Zoe Kormah (Pekin, Ill.-Pekin Community) scored her first goal of the season to tie the contest with ten minutes left. Four minutes later, junior Liza Wiley (Bloomington, Ind.-Home School) buried the game-winner to lift the Titans over the Firebirds. 

Illinois Wesleyan is 5-0-5 (1-0-1 CCIW) going into Wednesday's contest. The Titans will face a Bluejays squad that owns an 8-3 overall ledger and a 1-1 CCIW mark. EU grabbed a 2-0 win over Augustana College in its CCIW opener, but fell to No. 13 NCC in last Saturday's contest, 2-1. 

The Titans lead the all-time series over Elmhurst, 24-6-1, while holding onto an 11-3 away record at Langhorst Field. However, the last time the Green and White made the trip to Elmhurst, Ill., the  Bluejays took the 1-0 win to break IWU's 12-game winning streak against EU in 2024. Last season, Illinois Wesleyan posted a 3-1 win in Bloomington.

The Titans average 2.2 goals per game, good for third in the conference, with Wiley leading the league with 4.0 shots per game.
