The Cardinals enter Wednesday at 1-11-1 overall and 1-9-1 in MEC play. Wheeling's first win of the season came on Oct. 7, when the Cardinals shut out Shawnee State 3-0 behind goals from Lily Hanna, Maira Alevato and Nyah Smith. Alba Lopez Guerrero recorded three saves in the victory to secure Wheeling's first shutout of the year.

More recently, Wheeling fell 4-0 at Glenville State. The Pioneers scored twice in each half and finished the game with 18 shots. Jeanery Diaz led Wheeling with two shots, one of which was on goal.

The Senators scored twice in the contest, with Taytum Walls opening the scoring and Ava Sherman adding a late goal. Davis & Elkins finished with five shots in the match, while goalkeeper Riann Stevens recorded five saves.

Wednesday marks the 21st meeting between Wheeling and Davis & Elkins, with the Cardinals holding a 9-10-1 record in the all-time series. The Senators won the first matchup of the season, earning a 1-0 victory on Sept. 16 behind a second-half goal from Meghan Andersen.

With the season entering its final stretch, the Cardinals will look to use their home-field advantage to get back in the win column and even the season series with the Senators. Following Wednesday's matchup, Wheeling heads back on the road Sunday, Oct. 18, to face Fairmont State at 1 p.m.
