Senior Kenna Wollard, who announced earlier this year that she is currently dealing with an unexpected health issue, was present on the sideline for the second time this season. According to Boilermakers coach Dave Shondell, Wollard will join the team for upcoming matches in Oregon and Washington. The presence of Wollard is expected to provide an emotional boost to the No. 10 ranked Boilers.",
