KNIGHT WATCH
Senior goalkeeper
Morgan Wirz has five chances remaining to collect two more shutouts to break the all-time program record set in 2014 by Rachael Rempe (8.1). Wirz collected her third shutout of the season in the Knight's previous win against Notre Dame de Namur Thursday
Oct. 11 in a game where she also compiled a season high nine saves. Senior midfielder
Rocky Herrera scored her second goal of the season on a penalty kick in ART U's most recent match against Holy Names Tuesday,
Oct. 16. Herrera's seven points is second among all Urban Knights.
COUGARS ON THREE GAME STREAK
Azusa Pacific brings momentum into their game against Academy of Art, winning their previous three matches for their first win streak of 2018. The streak improves their overall record to 4-7-1 and their conference record to 4-1-1. All three of the fourth place Cougar's wins have been decided by the same 2-0 score, starting with Dominican, then Holy Names, and most recently Fresno Pacific. APU started the season with a five game losing streak before winning their first game of the season against Chaminade Sept. 20 by an expected score of 2-0. The Cougar's leading scorer is Ella Romero, who has collected eight points on four goals. In the most recent meeting between APU defeated the Urban Knights 5-1.
EAGLES IN IRVINE
Concordia sits at 5-6-1 overall and 3-3-0 in conference. This will be the Eagles first home game since their return from Hawaii where they went 2-1 including their most recent match a 2-0 win over Chaminade. Carmany Jones leads Concordia's offense with five goals and one assist for a team high 11 points. ART U is winless all-time against the Eagles with an 0-3 record.
HERRERA NETS PENALTY KICK IN OVERTIME LOSS
Academy of Art forced overtime with a late goal on a penalty kick by senior midfielder
Rocky Herrera, but a quick goal by Holy Names in the extra minutes cut the Urban Knight's come-back short in Tuesday night's bay area showdown.
