ABILENE – The No. 4 Abilene Christian women's soccer team continues its five-match homestand Wednesday when it welcomes Midwestern State to the Wildcat Soccer Pitch for a 4 p.m. contest.
The match is the first this season to be web streamed via ACU's partnership with
YOE TV and will cost $4.99 to view. Handling the broadcast duties will be

ACU enters the week with an overall record of 9-0-1 and stands atop the Lone Star Conference standings at 5-0-1 and 16 points. The Mustangs, meanwhile, are 5-2-2 overall (3-2-2 LSC) and tied for third place with West Texas A&M (10 points) after winning their last two games vs. A&M-Commerce and Texas Woman's by a combined score of 6-2.
The Wildcats also beat up on the Pioneers and Lions last weekend as
Andrea Carpenter provided nine points on four goals and an assist, lifting her season totals to 21, 9 and 3, respectively. Midfielder
Whitley Lindholm posted the first two-goal game of her career vs. Texas Woman's, while
Ashley Craig provided two assists in the win over Commerce.
ACU's eight goals this weekend lifted its season per game average to 2.9 and shots on goal percentage to .519. The Wildcats have outshot their opposition 206-88 and scored two or more goals in nine of 10 matches.
Midwestern State has been led on offense by Kelsey Hill and Lindsay Pritchard, who have combined for 29 of the Mustangs' 51 points. Mallory Whitworth has started all nine matches in goal and owns a 0.76 goals-against average with 30 saves and a .811 save percentage. She has recorded shutouts this season vs. Nebraska-Omaha and Incarnate Word.
Wildcat goalkeeper
Elliott London remains unbeaten at 9-0 on the year even though she allowed her first goals of the season to Texas Woman's during Friday's match. The Pioneers' first score in the 25th minute snapped London's consecutive minute scoreless streak at 484:06. London allowed another goal to A&M-Commerce Sunday, which raised her GAA to 0.42, but she also made a season best six saves on 15 shots faced.
Midwestern State leads its all-time series vs. ACU, 5-1, but did not suffer its first lost to the Wildcats until last November during the Lone Star Conference Tournament, losing 2-0 in the championship match.
ACU will play host to two more home matches later in the week with Eastern New Mexico visiting Friday at 4 p.m., and West Texas A&M arriving Sunday at 1 p.m. Sunday's match is the regular-season home finale for ACU.
