TAHLEQUAH -- Northeastern State takes the field once this week, hosting Southern Nazarene on Wednesday night in continued GAC/MIAA play.

The RiverHawks seek a rebound on both ends of the pitch after taking losses to Newman and Fort Hays State on the road last week.

Ivan Lopez ranks inside the conference's top ten in shots per game (1.86) and shots on goal (eight), while Kei Nagakura's three goals places him inside the league's top ten, as well. 

History with the Crimson Storm
In a series dating back to 1981, NSU is 21-37-2 all-time against SNU. The team has lost six straight to the Crimson Storm, with their last win on Nov. 12, 2021 (3-0) in that season's GAC/MIAA semifinal.
