All-Time Series: Wright State leads the all-time series 16-2-1. The 'Dons have never won in Dayton, holding a 0-9-1 record in the Gem City. The only positive result in that time came in a scoreless draw in 2017. It was a non-league game, as the Mastodons were members of the Summit League.
About the Raiders
Wright State has been outscored 15-4 on the season and are looking for their first win. They opened league play with a 2-1 loss at IU Indy last week. Their only tie of the season was a 2-2 draw at Loyola Chicago. Henry Hutchinson has a pair of goals on the year.
Double-Digit 'Dons
Shane Anderson (11) and Iann Topete (10) are first and second in the league in points. If they want to reach the top 10 in the Division I era for points in a season in program history they'll need to get to 17.
Nice Start
The Mastodons have opened the season 3-0-3, becoming the first Mastodon team in program history to open the season undefeated through the first six matches.
A Win and…
A win on Saturday over Wright State would mark the second consecutive season the 'Dons have opened league play with two wins. The Mastodons went 3-0 in league play out of the gates last year.
No Losses
The 'Dons are the only team in the Horizon League and one of only 28 teams in the nation without a loss on the season.
All Eyes on 'Dons
The department's sixth annual Party at the Pitch on September 10 drew a record crowd of 1,062. It is the third time the 'Dons have drawn over 1,000 for the event.
OPOTW
Iann Topete had a debut weekend to remember for the Mastodons. He scored twice vs. DePaul to help the 'Dons earn a 3-3 tie against the Blue Demons. His play helped him earn the Horizon League's Offensive Player of the Week honor on Aug. 25.
'Dons & Ends
- Iann Topete leads the league with five goals.
- Sep Habibi has a 0.909 goals against average on the season. He has two shutouts and one combined shutout this season.
