Lady Bison Host ThunderWolves

SHAWNEE – Oklahoma Baptist returns home Wednesday to host Colorado State-Pueblo and continue the run of Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference opponents.  
 
The Lady Bison are 2-6 this season and 0-4 in RMAC play after a difficult three-game road trip that saw OBU face three of the top five teams in the conference. Following the extended time away from Bison Hill, the team will host the first of four straight home games Wednesday.
 
CSU-Pueblo will be seeking their first win of the season after dropping the first four contests of the spring. The ThunderWolves average 9.50 goals scored per game, while allowing 16.68 goals to opponents. For the season, CSU-Pueblo has 75 turnovers and has caused just 43.
 
Alix Zierden leads the way with 13 goals and Allison Wurscher has assisted on five scores. Hope Lambert has logged 121 minutes in goal this season, making 10 saves on a .250 save percentage.
 
OBU scores 7.38 goals per game on a .309 shot percentage, paced by Alexis Martin with 11 goals scored. Lauren McCormack has recorded 32 draw controls this season, and needs just two more to match the single-season program record. Junior Allison Ingrim leads the way with 23 ground balls and 13 caused turnovers.
 
Freshman goalkeeper Courtney Barnickle posted 17 saves in the loss to Fort Lewis College last week, the second-highest total in OBU history. She owns a .395 save percentage and has made 62 saves this season.
 
Entering Wednesday's meeting, the Lady Bison own a 2-1 record at the OBU Lacrosse Complex. This will be the first true road test for the ThunderWolves. The game is set to start at 4 p.m.
