SERIES HISTORY:
The series dates back to 1974. While the Jaguars own a slight edge, the Mastodons have had the better of the series of late. The 'Dons have won three of the last four contests. But the last meeting was a 2-0 loss for the Mastodons in Indianapolis in 2019. The two teams have played each season for the last 14 seasons dating back to 2006.
LAST TIME OUT:
The 'Dons dropped a league game at Oakland 2-1. All three goals came in the second half. The Mastodons' tally came in the 89th minute when Logan Lee headed in a long pass from Romario Simpson. Oakland was picked as the co-favorite in the league.
FOR STARTERS:
Through the first two matches, 15 different players have started a match. Seven Mastodons (Emil Fosse, Vukasin Bulatovic, Nemanja Gvozdic, Nathaniel Edwards, Alejandro Lopez, Michael Teller and Erik Josson) started both games.
THREE FOR TWO:
Two Mastodons, Romario Simpson and Logan Lee, each have three points on the season.
FRESHY FRESH:
Two freshmen scored for the 'Dons in the opener against Milwaukee with Luke Benford and Romario Simpson scoring. The last time two freshmen scored in a game for the 'Dons was Sept, 11, 2015 when Kyle Hoagland and Zach Tom both scored against Asbury. The last time it happened against a Division I team was Oct. 12, 2013 when Oscar Uyamadu and Stephen Daniellan each scored in a 3-1 win over Eastern Illinois.
FRESHY FRESH X2:
Purdue Fort Wayne is the only Horizon League team to have started a freshman goalkeeper this season. Erik Josson has earned the call between the pipes in both games for the 'Dons. He has 11 saves on the season.
UP NEXT:
The 'Dons return to the Summit City on Sunday (Feb. 28) to host Green Bay. It will be a 2 p.m. start in a match that will be played at Indiana Tech. Fans will not be allowed.
