Scouting the Mastodons
Fort Wayne men's soccer (3-3-0) went 2-2 in the last two weeks away from home. Wednesday's match will be the first true home match for the 'Dons this year as it will be played at the Hefner Soccer Complex. Previously scheduled games were moved due to wet grounds. Four Mastodons have two or more goals, with Thilo Körperich tied for the league lead with four.

Scouting the Norse
Northern Kentucky (0-4-1) enters Wednesday's match looking for their first victory of the season. The squad's lone positive result of the season was a 1-1 tie with Eastern Illinois in the season opener. The Norse dropped a conference match to Oakland by a score of 3-2 in the last contest for Northern Kentucky. The match paired the Horizon League's two newest members.

Series History
The two clubs have played 21 times with Northern Kentucky owning a 15-2-4 edge. The majority of the contests came when both schools were members of the NCAA Division II Great Lakes Valley Conference. The two clubs have played each season for the last few years, with the Norse holding a 2-0-2 mark in those four games.

Korperich Earns Summit League Honor
Senior Thilo Körperich earned his first career Summit League Offensive Player of the Week honor on Monday. He had two goals against Bradley, including the game-winner in overtime as well as another goal against Evansville.

Last Time Out
The Mastodons fell 3-1 to Evansville on Sunday. The two teams were scoreless at half before the Purple Aces scored three times in the final 45 minutes.

Looking Ahead
The 'Dons will play at Dayton on Saturday (Sept. 17) in a 7 p.m. start.
