After opening conference play with four straight wins, the Colonels (8-6-3, 4-2-2 UAC) look to regain momentum following a loss against North Alabama on Sunday.
 
The Colonels look to regain their offensive momentum against Austin Peay and West Georgia after combining for five goals in wins over the two programs to open conference play. Peyton Smith earned UAC Player of the Week honors after recording three goals and an assist across the two victories, while Jordan LeVasseur was named UAC Goalkeeper of the Week after totaling nine saves and a shutout.
 
EKU received a boost ahead of the conference tournament with forward Lauren Link's return to action last Sunday, her first appearance since suffering an injury on Sept. 6. The Cincinnati native scored three goals in six appearances before the injury and provides another scoring threat for the Colonels entering the postseason.

Sanabria also recorded eight saves against the Colonels earlier this season, keeping the match level until Avery May's game-winning goal in the 83rd minute sealed EKU's 2-1 victory.
 
After starting 0-8 on their home turf this season, the Wolves look for their first win of the season in their home finale.
 
Scouting Austin Peay
