KICK-OFF
The Dallas Baptist Men's Soccer team lost to No. 19 Midwestern State University, 1-0, on October 22 at Patriot Soccer Field in Dallas, Texas. Freshman goalkeeper Tyler Hofmann recorded a program-record 14 saves in the match, limiting the Mustangs to just one goal in the 81st minute.

After a scoreless first half, Midwestern State came out firing in the second half, finally finding the back of the net when Antonio Hernandez found Sebastian Venegas, who dribbled into the box and put a shot past Hoffman into the top right corner.
 
DBU looks to bounce back against Texas A&M International at 7:00 p.m. on October 27 at Patriot Soccer Field in Dallas, Texas.
 
PATRIOT STORYLINES
 - Hofmann's 14 saves were the most made by a DBU goalkeeper since October 6, 2014, when Chuck Schober made 12 saves against Midwestern State.

 - A win on Thursday would secure a winning record at home for the first time since 2013.
 
 - With at least two matches to play, senior Riley Alvey is just four points shy of 50 career points at DBU.
 
 - The Patriots would be eliminated from Heartland Conference Tournament contention with a loss on Thursday.
 
SCOUTING TEXAS A&M INTERNATIONAL
The Dustdevils' four-game roadtrip to close out the season got off to a poor start last week with losses to Rogers State and Newman. Ryan Hodgson, the team leader in goals (7), scored his seventh for the only TAMIU goal in those two matches.
 
Goalkeeper Roberto Molina has struggled as of late, allowing five goals in the Dustdevils' last four matches. He has recorded just 11 saves in that span. Molina allowed goals in the 87th and 88th minutes of last week's losses.
 
SERIES HISTORY
DBU has lost all five meetings with TAMIU, including a 4-1 loss in Laredo, Texas, in September. Michael Izkander scored a goal and assisted on another to lead the Dustdevil offense, which was the first to score on Sean Bouland this season.
