Northwest Nazarene heads out for two GNAC road matches, facing Western Oregon on Thursday and Saint Martin’s on Saturday. The Nighthawks are 3-8-3 overall and 3-5-2 in conference play; they’ll look to build on a recent 1-0 win over Montana State Billings and improve on a scoreless draw against Western Oregon earlier this season.

By the Numbers
  • NNU: 3-8-3 overall, 3-5-2 in GNAC play.
  • Western Oregon: 2-8-4 overall, 1-6-3 in GNAC play.

Yes, But

NNU has scored 12 goals this season and creates more shots than its opponents, but has allowed 22 goals. Western Oregon has gone seven matches without a win and four without scoring, while Saint Martin’s has been shut out in 10 of its 15 matches.

What’s Next

NNU visits Western Oregon at 2 p.m. PT Thursday, then travels to Lacey to play Saint Martin’s at 12:30 p.m. PT Saturday. The Nighthawks beat the Saints 3-0 earlier this season and are seeking their first win over Western Oregon since 2023.

Bottom Line

The road trip offers NNU a chance to turn its shot production into points—and to strengthen its position against two conference opponents struggling to score.
