SCOUTING WESTERN ILLINOIS
WKU's weekend opposition, Western Illinois, kicked off its 2019 campaign with a 3-2 showing at the Total Control Sports Invitational in Rosemont, Ill. WIU picked up a pair of wins over IUPUI and was victorious over Butler while suffering losses to Green Bay and UMKC. The Leathernecks have scored first in all five of their outings this season, a streak the Red and White will look to put a halt to.
In all-time series, WKU owns a 5-0 advantage over the Leathernecks. Four of the five meetings have taken place in Bowling Green. Western Illinois' last visit to The Hill was in 2017 when the Hilltoppers claimed a 4-1 victory.
