WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The Purdue women's soccer team is slated to close out its non-conference schedule with a pair of home games. The Boilermakers are set to play back-to-back ranked teams, after coming off their only loss of the season at No. 15 South Carolina. The matchup against No. 24 Louisville will also mark the third straight week the Boilermakers will play a top-25 team. Heading into the final week of non-conference action, Purdue owns a 0-1-1 record against ranked opponents.
SCOUTING NO. 24 LOUISVILLE
• Louisville owns a perfect 5-0 record for its best start since 2012.
• Thursday marks the fifth meeting between the Cardinals and the Boilermakers. Currently, Louisville holds a 2-1-1 edge. Purdue last faced Louisville a year ago, where Purdue pulled out a 3-2 victory in Kentucky.
• The Cardinals are coming off a 1-0 overtime victory against Kentucky, where Brooklynn Rivers scored the game-winner less than two minutes into overtime.
• Louisville has outshot opponents 77-18 and scored 15 goals while only allowing three.
SCOUTING WESTERN MICHIGAN
• WMU's 4-1 start to the 2018 campaign marks its best start to a season since 2016.
• The Broncos are coming off back-to-back shutout victories over Wright State (2-0) and Oakland (1-0). Western Michigan's only loss came in the opening weekend at Michigan with a 2-0 final score.
• Before WMU travels to Purdue, the Broncos will have to go through University of Illinois-Chicago at home on Friday.
THROUGH THE FIRST FIVE
• Through the first five games, the 2018 squad ties the 2000-01 team as the most effective second half offense in Purdue history. Seven of Purdue's last eight goals have come in the second half - including two in the last two minutes of play by Kylie Hase.
• Sarah Clark leads the Boilermakers with seven points, which come from two penalty kick goals and a trio of assists. Meanwhile, Hase owns a team-high three goals and a .625 on-goal percentage.
• Purdue is riding a four-game home winning streak dating back to Oct. 25, 2017.
• Despite being outshot 68-58 by opponents, the Boilermakers have the advantage with a +4 scoring differential and a .448 SOG percentage.
