COLUMBUS, Miss. – For the second-consecutive time in a St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SLIAC) contest, The W women's soccer side battled to a scoreless draw, this time with Eureka College at the Roger Short Soccer Complex. The Owls (1-12-4, 0-5-2 SLIAC) also drew, 0-0, with Blackburn on Friday afternoon.
 
The four ties, overall, by MUW is the most by any SLIAC team in 2025. It also shows just how close the young MUW team was to an entirely different season. In addition to the four ties, MUW had four matches lost by a 1-0 score.
 
Unfortunately for The W, the back-to-back SLIAC draws evaporated any hopes the team had of securing a post-season berth, a very real possibility entering the weekend with even one of the ties flipped to a win. If The W wins its regular season finale at Lyon College on Wednesday (Oct. 29), the best it could do would be to tie Eureka for the sixth – and final - SLIAC post-season spot, with the Red Devils (1-5-2 SLIAC) holding the tie-breaking head-to-head versus the Owls.
 
The W and EC matched up fairly evenly, with each team registering seven total shot attempts. The Red Devils took six tries in the first half and then were limited to just one try in the second stanza. The Owls had three shots in the first and four in the second half.
 
MUW goalkeeper Cam Lopez had four saves to preserve her second shutout of the season.
 
Senior Ella Mercier – playing her final home game for the Owls – had three shots and both of her team's shots on-goal for the match.
 
Joining Mercier in being honored on the program's annual Senior Day, was four-year letterwinner Kimi Norway (San Francisco, Calif.).
