Statistics
The Pioneers dropped their last match to nationally-ranked Ohio Valley 3-0, but put forth a valiant effort and followed the gameplan well. The first 45 minutes went scoreless on the rain-soaked pitch on Monday.
Malone will need that same defensive intensity out of the back unit of
Ryan Dean,
Oriol Roset,
Joseph Arciniegas and goalkeeper
Nick Wilhelm if the Pioneers want to upend the Cedarville Yellow Jackets.
Nick Wilhelm made 11 saves in net for Malone against the Fighting Scots.
Offensively, the foursome of
Patrick Alvarez,
Nathan McFeaters,
Patrick Brightbill and
Antoine Leheron share the team lead in shots with eight each. Alvarez netted his first goal of the season in the 2-0 win over Trevecca Nazarene one week ago.
