Mikayla Kendall has been collecting saves in bunches, totaling a WAC-best, 111, which would rank fifth in the nation if Texans were eligible for the list. Avery Harr broke the program's shots on goal record she set last season notching 17 in 2023. Rylee Low leads the Texans offensive attack with four goals and eight points. She ranks tenth in the league in total goals. After an impressive freshman campaign, Mila Bettinelli ranks in the top ten in goals and goals per game among active players career statistics.
 
Head coach Pete Cuadrado has accumulated 178 wins in his career at North Dakota State, Wyoming and Tarleton. He is the all-time winningest coach at NDSU.
 
California Baptist notched a pair of four-goal victories last week defeating SFA, 4-1 and UTRGV, 4-0. The Lancers lone loss of the season came against Colorado State. CBU is unbeaten in conference play, with four wins and three draws.
 
Kaylee Hauck leads the team in goals scored this season with 7 goals. She is tied for the 5th most goals in the WAC.  The preseason goalie of the year and Week 3 WAC Goalie of the Week, Noa Schumacher has been a staple in between the posts for the Lancers. She has posted 61 saves, a WAC-best 0.63 GAA and has only allowed 10 goals in her 16 games started.
