COLUMBIA, Ky. — The Lindsey Wilson women's soccer team is set to play #18 Georgia Gwinnett with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m. CT. on Wednesday in Columbia.

The Blue Raiders enjoyed a 5-0 victory against Freed-Hardeman last Tuesday when they showcased a powerful offensive performance. Key contributors included Silvia Marchesi, who netted two goals, while Nataly Chauta, Lara Rocha, and Amanda Parrieiras each added to the score. This momentum sets the stage as they prepare to face Georgia Gwinnett, who recently faced a tough challenge against #1 Cumberlands (Ky.), suffering a 5-0 defeat on Monday.

Lindsey Wilson's offense was in excellent form last game with Marchesi leading and the rest of the well-rounded attacking lineup following. With this, the Blue Raiders will look to build on this success and maintain their offensive pressure. 

Georgia Gwinnett is looking to bounce back after a challenging match against Cumberlands. Riko Yasuzawa was a standout performer, leading her team with five shots, including three on target, and will be crucial in creating scoring opportunities against Lindsey Wilson. The Grizzlies will need to regroup quickly and find ways to break down the Blue Raiders's defense. 

If Lindsey Wilson can maintain possession and create scoring chances, it will be able to put pressure on Georgia Gwinnett's defense, which struggled against Cumberlands. With Lindsey Wilson's confidence soaring after a dominant win, there is eagerness to capitalize on any weaknesses and secure another victory.
