COLUMBIA, Ky.- The Lindsey Wilson Blue Raiders women's soccer is on the road to face Shawnee State University (Ohio) at 5:00 p.m. on August 28^th.

This matchup promises to be a crucial test for each team, having each dropped their season opener. The Blue Raiders are looking to bounce back after a challenging start when they lost 3-0 against #25 Oklahoma Wesleyan.

Offensively, Lindsey Wilson and Shawnee State Bears are looking to enhance their offensive play for a spark Creating more chances and improving their shot accuracy will be key.

Defensively, both teams have struggled, but the Bears recent 6-0 to Campbellsville (Ky) loss highlighted vulnerabilities in their defense that Lindsey Wilson will look to take advantage of and push their defensive line as much as possible. The Blue Raiders defense, though having surrendered three goals last game, must focus on closing down Shawnee State's attackers to reduce any scoring chances they might have as well.

Julye Derenemesnil, goalie, of Shawnee State's lineup had an impressive 10 saves last game, but she'll need to refine her approach to watch out for Amanda Parreiras and Sharon Nadunga from Lindsey Wilson's roster.

This game is a pivotal opportunity for both teams to rebound from recent setbacks. Lindsey Wilson will aim to find their scoring touch and strengthen their defensive efforts, while Shawnee State seeks to correct defensive lapses and build on their attacking strengths. Expect a competitive match with both teams eager to demonstrate improvement and secure a crucial win.
