SCOUTING THE MASTODONS (9-6-1, 1-2-0 Summit):
The 'Dons have a winning streak of three games and are coming off a 2-1 victory over IUPUI on Tuesday. Matthew Lieshout and Blake Cearns earned a pair of goals against the Jaguars. A win for the Mastodons would give them 10 for the season, setting a new single-season Division I era record for the program. A win would also put the 'Dons in a great position to earn one of the four Summit League Tournament spots up for grabs.
SCOUTING THE PANTHERS (3-8-4, 1-0-2 Summit):
The Panthers had a 2-1 loss against Milwaukee on Tuesday. Christian Sosnowski leads the team with three goals. Toby Andrews and Alex Castaneda lead the Panthers with two assists. Redshirt Sophomore Goalkeeper Jonathon Burke is ranked third in the Summit League with a .759 save percentage and 60 saves. Eastern Illinois' last conference win was 1-0 victory against Western Illinois that went into double overtime. The Panthers have scored only two goals in league play this year, but have a win and two ties to show for it. It is because they have only given up a single goal, which came in a 1-1 tie to first place Denver.
SERIES HISTORY:
Eastern Illinois leads the series 11-5. The Panthers have won the past two meetings. The last time the Mastodons won against the Panthers at Eastern Illinois was in 2003.
DOUBLE-DIGITS:
Matthew Lieshout has 11 goals on the season. He is second in the league. His total has him tied him for 20th place in the nation.
SAVES ON SAVES:
Tor Erik Larsen is first in the league with 81 saves third in the nation. The next closest goalie in the league is at 62.
ON LO:

FOUR WOULD BE MORE:

Purdue Fort Wayne returns to action on Saturday (Nov. 3) in a 2 p.m. start in Macomb, Illinois against Western Illinois. It will be the Mastodons' regular season finale.
