ST. LOUIS, MO — It’s been more than two weeks since the Saint Louis University men’s soccer team has played a game at home at Hermann Stadium. But they’ll get the chance to do so, Tuesday night, when the club hosts Lipscomb University in a non-conference matchup for both clubs.

Saint Louis is coming off a thrilling 2-0 win at Portland this past Friday. The Billikens were outshot (9-8) and outcornered (3-2), but they capitalized better on the chances they created and earned a fun win on the west coast.

SLU is now 2-2-1 on the season. Lipscomb, which won the Atlantic Sun Conference title last year, is 2-2-2 so far this season, and coming off a 2-2 tie against Kentucky last Saturday.

Lipscomb leads the all-time series against Saint Louis 2-1. SLU won the first ever matchup in 2021, but the Bison have won the last two, including a 2-1 win in St. Louis in 2022 and a 2-1 game in Nashville last season.

Players to Watch: Senior Seth Anderson has been the leader of SLU’s offense so far this year. He has three points in five games — all on assists — including assisting on both goal the Billikens scored in the win in Portland. Anderson’s three assists is also the most in the Atlantic 10 Conference so far this year.

Four different players — Tanner Anderson, Max Floriani, Luis Lara, and Matthew Wrobel — all have goals for SLU this year. While goalkeeper Jeremi Abonnel has played every minute in net for the Billikens and has posted two shutouts. His 0.60 goals against average is second-best in the A-10 and 16th-best in the entire NCAA.

Lipscomb has scored at least one goal in all six games its played this season. Freshman Dan Karsten leads the Bison and the entire ASUN with four goals.

Grad student teammate Javanne Smith has three goals and an assist, while senior Bubu Medina is this week’s ASUN Player of the Week following his team-leading performance in the game against Kentucky.
