Know Your Enemy: Azusa Pacific

Zoë Strickland | Managing Editor

On Nov. 4, the Wolves go head-to-head in the homecoming game against Azusa Pacific. Azusa is currently ranked third in the GNAC with a conference score record of 3-3. The Wolves are ranked fourth, following right behind them at 1-5.

Though Western’s history with the Cougars isn’t long, it is torrid. The teams first played each other in 1999, with the Wolves missing the win by a mere four points. The next year, Western creamed Azusa to the sound of 44-14. That was the last time the teams would face each other until 2009, when Western won the battle yet again.

Looking at more recent history, Western has lost the past three games against Azusa and has lost at home for the past two seasons.

When the Wolves played the Cougars on Sept. 30, they lost 17-48.

To find out if the Cougars will pounce on the Wolves yet again, or if the Wolves will thrive at home, go to the homecoming game on Nov. 4 at 1 p.m. or read our coverage in issue 6, printing on Nov. 8.
