Scouting the Mastodons
Fort Wayne men's soccer (4-3-0) looks to move to two games above .500 with a win on Saturday at Atlantic 10 member Dayton. The Mastodons are averaging 2.00 goals per match. Oscar Uyamadu and Thilo Körperich are tied with Omaha's Fazlo Alihodzic for the Summit League lead in goals with four. As a team, the Mastodons have 14 goals on the season to tie Denver for tops in the conference.

Scouting the Flyers
Dayton (2-4-0) normally plays on campus at Baujan Field, but with rain potentially causing poor field conditions Saturday's game has been moved off campus to Welcome Stadium. The Flyers are led by Rok Taneski, who has one goal and three assists, and Nick Hagenkord, who has two goals and four points. Goalkeeper Justin Saliba has a 1.56 goals against average, 19 saves and a 2-3 record this year.

Series History
The two clubs have met only three times with Dayton earning a win in each contest. Dayton won 2-1 in 2010, 4-1 in 2012 and 4-2 in 2013.

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.
