NAU (5-7, 1-1 BSC) turned in a 1-1 record during the Big Sky's opening weekend of conference play.  The Lumberjacks opened the regular season at Idaho State with a 3-1 defeat but evened its record in the conference with a 3-1 win at Weber State.

"We opened up on the road last week and had a decent weekend playing two tough teams," said head coach Craig Choate.  "This week we have just one match and Sacramento State will be playing the back half of its weekend schedule.  We hope to have a good crowd and play a tough match."
