Scouting the Mastodons (4-1-2, 0-0-0 Summit League)
Purdue Fort Wayne is coming into the match on a three-game win streak (all shutouts) and a six-game unbeaten streak. This has been the best start to the season for the Mastodons in program history through seven games. The Mastodons are ranked 19th in the nation for shots on goal per game (9.60). On September 15, the 'Dons pulled off a 2-0 shutout against the Detroit Mercy Titans. Eliese LaCourt scored the first goal for the Mastodons. After a feed into the box on a free kick, the Titans goalkeeper lost control of the ball, allowing LaCourt to slide the ball right into the goal. The second goal was scored by Morgan Reitano who intercepted a pass between two Titans and kicked the ball to the left corner, past the keeper.
Scouting the Cardinals (5-2-0, 0-0-0 Mid-American Conference)
Ball State faced off against Florida Gulf Coast (Sept. 15), but couldn't contain FGCU's offense and lost 2-0. On September 13, the Cardinals matched up with Florida Atlantic, but suffered their first loss of the season 1-0. Florida Atlantic's defense was too much for Ball State and no goal attempts were taken.
