YPSILANTI, Mich. - The IUPUI women's soccer team looks to build on the program's best ever start with a pair of non-conference matches this weekend. On Friday, the Jaguars will head up to Ypsilanti, Mich. to take on Eastern Michigan before returning home to host Lipscomb on Sunday.

Sunday's match will be preceded by a Indiana Youth Soccer 'Stars' Clinic on the west field, focusing on receiving. Clinic participants will be admitted to the match for free while those accompanying the youths will be admitted for $2.

IUPUI (4-2-0) has been led by forward Megan Hock offensively as the sophomore has earned back-to-back Summit League Offensive Player of the Week honors during the current four-game winning streak. Hock scored twice in a 2-0 win at Evansville, followed by scoring game-winning goals in wins over Indiana State and Detroit. She owns four of the team's eight goals and freshman Lisa Thomas leads the way with two assists.

Defensively, senior goalkeeper Jamie Farrell has been elite, stopping better than 85 percent of the shots she's faced and recording three shutouts through six games.

EMU comes in with a 4-1-1 record including a recent 5-0 outburst against Loyola in Richmond, Va.. Carissa Wilson leads the Eagles with three goals while Ashley Rodrigues has scored two game-winners already this year.

Lipscomb enters the weekend with a 2-4 overall mark and just three goals netted this season. The Lady Bisons will play at Ball State on Friday before heading back down I-69 to Indianapolis for Sunday's match.

IUPUI is just 1-6-2 all-time against EMU with the lone win coming in overtime in Ypsilanti in 2003. The Jaguars are 2-0 all-time against Lipscomb including winning Nashville 3-1 last season.
