Last Time Out

Working Out of the Corners
• K-State has added extra offensive chances this season by collecting corner kicks.
• Through 13 matches, K-State has recorded 66 corner kicks (5.08 ckpg). K-State's 66 corner kicks this season ranks sixth in school history for a season. If the season were to end today, K-State's corner kicks per game would be third in program history.

• Against Green Bay on August 17, the Wildcats registered a 12-0 edge in corner kicks in the opener. K-State scored on its second corner attempt of the season, as Kiran Singh found the head of Jazmin Brown in the 19th minute. Singh found Brown a second time in the 81st minute to seal the win.
• The 12 corner kicks were the second-most for a single-match in program history.
• Last season, K-State registered 82 corner kicks (4.32 per game).
Shot Prevention is Goal Prevention
• K-State has prevented opponent shots on goal in the 2023 season.
• The Wildcats have limited its foes to 5.3 shots on goal per game and a shots on goal percentage of .342. The shots on goal percentage would be the lowest in a season allowed in program history, surpassing the previous best of .405 in 2017.
• In three of its 13 matches, K-State has allowed two shots on goal in each of those matches.
• K-State's 2022 version of the defensive backline was one of the best defensive units in the seven seasons of the program.
