It will likely be Oklahoma Wesleyan's offense against Corban's defense in the Sweet 16 of the NAIA Tournament. 

The Eagles will have a day-match against Corban, Oregon on Monday. The match will kick off at 11:00 AM Bartlesville time. OKWU is trying to get back into the Final Four for the second consecutive season. Corban will feature a tough test for the Eagles - it will be strength versus strength.

Corban is one of the best defensive teams in the country. The Warriors are seventh in the country in total shutouts with 11. Corbin’s opponents have only scored 15 goals all season long in 19 contests, which is also one of the best marks in the nation.

For Wesleyan, it has been offense that’s led the way. OKWU has scored 94 goals in 24 matches. Wesleyan is in the top five in the country in goals, assists, goals per match, assists per match and shots on goal.

The NAIA Sweet 16 takes place in Irving California starting on Monday. The rest of the national tournament will be played at that neutral site.
