SCOUTING THE MASTODONS (4-3-0, 0-0-0 Summit):
The 'Dons are looking to add another win to their record after a convincing 3-0 win over Northern Kentucky last Monday. Romain Lopez earned his second goal of the season off of an assist from Chris Baranowski and Alex Frank. Baranowski also assisted Blake Cearns with both of his goals to give the 'Dons a 3-0 lead. Freshman keeper Tor Erik Larsen picked up his first career shutout with five saves.

Senior Tate Robertson leads the team with four assists, with four other Falcons having earned one assist each. In the goal, Anthony Mwembia totaled 18 saves. BGSU has outshot the opponent and has taken as many or more corner kicks than the opponent in five of the first six matches of the season. BGSU has had more shots on goal than the foes in four matches, and the Falcons have a 30-24 advantage in that department this year to date.
