GALESBURG, IL - Knox women's soccer will take on Alverno in the first of four Knox Athletics "Fire Games" tonight at 5:30 PM.

The Prairie Fire head into tonight's non-conference matchup at 5-3, and they have a .500 record while playing at Jorge Prats Field.

Knox is 3-0 in the series history against Alverno, winning the last matchup 5-0 in 2016.

Aniela Rossi leads the Prairie Fire in goals with five on the season, and Analeis Ming is shortly behind her with three of her own.

Knox's defensive core has been terrific throughout the season. They have done a tremendous job of keeping the opposing attackers in front of them and not allowing great scoring opportunities. Captains Emma Sineath, Asia Ling, and Emily Jacobs have been key factors in the defensive success, leading the young core that has surrounded them this year.

Bri Mahoney and Darby Wallig have excelled in the cage for the Prairie Fire with the help of their defense in front of them.

The tough early season contests for the Prairie Fire have helped them through the middle portion of the season as they won five games in a six game stretch in mid-September.

Tonight is set to be an outstanding game as the Inferno come to town. The first of four fall "Fire Games" will set the stage for tonight's matchup. 

Expect to see a good crowd at tonight's 5:30 p.m. game, and to follow along elsewhere, view the tagged links.
