Final Week of Non-Conference Play Awaits CUC

RIVER FOREST, Ill. -- In the final week of non-conference action, the Cougars will have matches on Thursday and Saturday before beginning Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference play next Wednesday.

Setting the Scene... Concordia-Chicago's men's soccer team will travel to Michigan tomorrow afternoon for a midweek match up against Andrews University at 2 p.m. (CST). There will be no live stats or video coverage available for CUC's contest at Andrews. On Saturday, the Cougars will then return to their own pitch inside Concordia Stadium to host Northland College in their final non-conference tune up of the season. The game will begin at approximately 1 p.m. With Saturday's game, CUC will honor senior Panagiotis Zervas for his four-year contributions to the men's soccer squad. For the match up against Northland, complete coverage with live stats and video will be available at cucougars.com/coverage.

Last Time Out... CUC has dropped their last three contests, struggling to find the back of the net in all three games. With their four goals of the season all coming against Moody Bible, the Cougars will lean on offensive producers in Gerardo Medina, John Walsh and Michael Bogart to get the offense rolling. 

Scouting the Cardinals... Off to a 2-4 start this year, Andrews University has managed to score 14 goals in a matter of just two games. David Avelar is a key threat for the Cardinals, as he has five goals and three assists on the start of the year. 

Inside the Jacks... With a 1-4 record in the early goings of the season, Northland's Jacks are averaging 1.20 goals per game. Jonah Evans and Lee Dennis lead the way for Northland, as both athletes have two goals each on the year. Dennis earned Northland's Athlete of the Week award for his two goals in a close loss to Marian University last week. In goal, Garren Aberth and Andre Ramirez have combined for 38 saves and an average of .691 saves percentage this season. 

Pan's World... The Cougars will honor senior Panagiotis Zervas at halftime on Saturday against Northland. The Sport and Fitness major, with minors in Sociology and Coaching, has appeared in 12 career matches for the Cougars and averaged a lifetime .505 save percentage, to date.
