The Warriors (2-4-5, 2-2-2) got a big conference win on Wednesday afternoon, defeating the Cornerstone Golden Eagles (5-3-2, 3-1-1) 1-0 behind a late second-half goal. In a highly physical contest, the Warriors and Golden Eagles went back and forth on attacking attempts, shooting 22 combined shots.
It was not a game for the faint-hearted on Wednesday night, with the Warriors (1-4-5, 1-2-2) drawing with the Cleary Cougars (2-4-4, 1-1-2) 2-2. Following another Ames-Perez goal connection by the Warriors, the Cougars scored two goals to take what seemed to be a commanding lead in front of a home crowd. However, the Warriors executed some late-half heroics to tie things up off a goal by Olivia Howes from Jenna Schodowski.
The Warriors (1-4-3, 1-2-0) fell short against the Northwestern Ohio Racers (4-2-2, 2-0-0) on Sept. 21 by a score of 1-0 at Michigan Stars Sports Center. In what was a very close contest throughout, a goal by the Racers with 12 minutes remaining proved to be the winning goal.

RCU was all over the offensive side of the pitch, shooting 28 shots on goal. Sophomore Haley Bennett led the way for the Warriors with two goals.

Mother Nature wasn't willing to let either the Warriors (0-0-2) or St. Francis Fighting Saints (0-0-1) emerge a winner in Friday night's 1-1 draw during the Warriors' Illinois road trip.
A spectacular diving header from junior forward Olivia Howes at the 26-minute mark in the first half helped the Warriors even the game 1-1 against the Judson Eagles on Thursday evening during the Warriors' season debut - but it would be the final goal for either team for the rest of the match's duration.
