In their next game against Centre College, Illinois Wesleyan secured a 2-1 win. Lyons scored on a one-on-one opportunity, and junior Joey Rodino provided the decisive goal with a volley in the 19th minute.
Eureka College comes into the contest with a record of 1-1 after earning a program-record victory over Kuyper College by a score of 14-0 and falling to Benedictine University 2-1. The win over Kuyper marked Eureka's largest margin of victory to date.
