OPPONENT PREVIEW – ROCKY MOUNTAIN: Tech flies to Billings this weekend for a single match vs. Rocky Mountain, with the Battlin' Bears (3-3-1, 1-2-1 CCC) coming off a bye weekend (as Walla Walla, their men's travel partner, is not part of the CCC women's schedule). Rocky split with C of I and Eastern, earning a draw vs. Carroll – thanks to the play of Emma Lensing (4 goals, 1 assist), Mya Maack (2 goals, 1 assist), Mila Allison (2 goals, 1 assist) and Charlize Davis (1 goal, 2 assists). Returning keeper Hannah Trumball (1.43 GAA) is key in goal for RMC. Tech brings a 7-match unbeaten streak against Rocky into the match (including 3-straight wins) and hold a 5-3-2 series edge.
Â
TOUGH WEEKEND AGAINST TOP TEAMS: Playing two of the top teams in the CCC table, Tech battled College of Idaho and Eastern Oregon for 180 minutes – but two small stretches were the key in losses to the Yotes and Mounties. Against C of I, OIT hit a pair of crossbars, while the visitors tallied all three goals in a 10-minute second half window. Tech dominated EOU statistically, holding the Mounties without a second half shot, but a first half through-ball was converted – providing the lone goal of the match. It marked the first time since 2014 that OIT dropped consecutive home matches.
Â
GOAL STREAK SNAPPED: The shutout loss to C of I ended a 15-match streak of scoring goals – the second longest in program history. OIT posted 16-straight games with a goal scored during the 2021 season.
Â
AROUND THE LEAGUE: Carroll and College of Idaho moved to the top of the CCC table with big sweeps, Carroll at home over Bushnell and Corban, with C of I (along with Eastern), sweeping Southern and Tech – with the teams meeting this weekend in Idaho. This week, Bushnell and Corban head to Northwest and Evergreen State, Providence and Carroll are at C of I and Eastern, SOU and OIT head to Rocky, with Warner Pacific and Multnomah meeting in Portland.
