Preview
The Blue Raiders are set to close out their road trip with a 12 p.m. CT kickoff against the University of West Georgia in Carrollton, Georgia, a match that could mark the second meeting between the two programs within a month.
MTSU enters the contest riding a two‑game winning streak that includes a 2‑1 victory over Belmont on August 14, 2025, and the team has not allowed a goal in 174 minutes of play, a feat highlighted by sophomore defender Scottie Newton’s recent CUSA Defender of the Week honor.
Coach [name not specified] has overseen a defensive turnaround, and the squad’s early season form has kept them undefeated in their first four games for the second straight year, a benchmark that underscores the program’s consistency.
A historic rivalry
The two programs first met on August 31, 2025, in Murfreesboro, where MTSU secured a 3‑0 victory; the upcoming encounter will be the second‑ever meeting, giving both sides a chance to rewrite the early narrative.
Key players to watch
Sophomore midfielder Charli Dunn has earned a call‑up to New Zealand’s U‑20 side for the FIFA U‑20 Women’s World Cup in Poland, adding international intrigue to the match, while UWG’s senior midfielder Noemi Casique topped the team with four goals and eight points last season.
Freshman forward Kaylen Brown broke out with three goals in her rookie campaign, and UWG’s goalkeeper Emily Sanabria will rely on her .768 save percentage — the best in Division I history for the program — to keep the Raiders at bay.
On the other side, MTSU’s defensive anchor Scottie Newton has helped the team concede zero goals in over 170 minutes, a performance that earned her CUSA Defender of the Week honors.
