About the Sunbirds (2-7-1, 2-2-0 PacWest)
The offense erupted last Saturday, as five different Sunbirds found the back of the net to help FPU to its' second league win. Whitney Snow and Mackenzie Reynolds remain tied for the team lead in goals, while keeper Alex Benevidez has earned both of FPU's clean sheets between the posts. The Sunbirds will look to reverse recent fortunes, as they have lost their last 12 non-conference games dating back to 2016.

Cal State Dominguez Hills  
About the Toros (1-8-1, 1-6-1 CCAA)
The CSUDH offense has sputtered of late, as the Toros have failed to score a goal during their current four-game losing skid. Most recently, Cal State Monterey Bay and Cal State East Bay each defeated the Toros 1-0 last week, with keeper Ruth-Maria Soto totaling seven saves in that span. Coming into this week, Soto ranks third in the CCAA in saves with 62, averaging nearly six per contest.

About the Argos (2-8-0, 1-3-0 PacWest)
A four-game NDNU losing skid came to an end on Sunday afternoon with a 3-2 victory against Chaminade in Belmont. Reilly Patterson was named the league's Freshman of the Week on Monday after scoring the overtime game-winner to give the Argos their first conference victory. The Argos host Academy of Art on Thursday afternoon before making the trip to Fresno on Saturday.

All-Time Series
FPU is on the wrong side of a 3-8-1 record in the all-time series, including a 3-2 loss in Belmont last season. The Sunbirds claimed a three-game winning streak from 2014-2016, and their only win in Fresno was a 4-0 shutout in 2015.
