MALONE PIONEERS TEAM NOTES:
Schedule | Roster | Statistics
 
Malone will look to finish its season on a high note on Saturday by scoring some points in Columbus. It has not been the season that the Pioneers had hoped for this spring, but a big upset victory over a team that has locked themselves into a postseason spot would allow Malone to jump Trevecca Nazarene in the league table.
 
The Pioneers scored once in their most recent game at Cedarville, with Patrick Alvarez netting a penalty kick goal in the 61st minute of play. Alvarez is the only Malone player with multiple goals this season. He leads the Pioneers with 714 minutes played in the condensed season.
 
Since being inserted into the defensive lineup, Ryan Dean has hardly missed time on the pitch. Dean has been the vocal leader on the backline.
 
Justin Betts joins a group of Dean, Alvarez and the keeper Nick Wilhelm as guys to go 90 minutes in the loss to Cedarville. It is the fourth time this season that Betts has gone the distance in a match.
