Back on Track: Siena Heights earned a win against Indiana Tech and have improved their record to 8-3-3 overall and 3-1-3 in conference play. They will look to begin another wining-streak during this week.
Head Coach: In his 22 seasons as the head coach of the Siena Heights women's soccer program, Coach Scott Oliver has led the Saints to four Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) regular-season championships as well as five WHAC tournament titles. During this time, the Saints have also been to the NAIA tournament six times.
Oliver is the 10th women's soccer winningest active coach by wins in the NAIA and the 14th winningest coach of all time. In addition, he has accounted for over half of the all-time wins for the program.
NAIA Power: The Siena Heights women's soccer program is the third all-time winningest program in the NAIA, with 468 wins. The Saints have the most wins of any team in the WHAC and have 153 more wins than Aquinas, the only other WHAC program in the top 25 for victories.
At Home: The Saints are 7-0-1 at home this season. They have outscored opponents 27-5 inside O'Laughlin Stadium.
On The Road: The Saints are 0-3-3 on the road this season. They opened 2022 with a tough test at Mount Vernon Nazarene, where they lost 3-2 after leading at the half. A similar story in the second game saw the Saints take a 1-0 lead over Thomas More before falling 2-1. A 3-0 lead over Pikeville in game three was enough to earn the team's first win, 3-1 in the team's only neutral site game.
Setting the Pace: The Saints have dictated play this season, outshooting opponents 185-66.
Versus Aquinas: The Saints are 2-6-2 against Aquinas since 2013. The Saints' two wins against Aquinas have been split, one home and one away.
