Kansas City Notes
Kansas City Notes
- The Roos are coming off their first conference loss of the season, a 3-1 decision at the hands of Oral Roberts. The loss came despite KC attempting 11 more shots than the Golden Eagles.
- Christian Koffi reached the record books with his performance against ORU, attempting 13 shots on the night. That mark broke Larry Scheller's program single-game record of 10 that had stood for nearly 21 years.
- Koffi's 13 shots attempted also stands as the most in a single game by a player in Division One this season, and is tied for the most in a single game in the past three seasons.
- Kazuki Kimura has been the Roos' top goal-scoring threat on the year, tallying four total. His average of 0.44 goals per game ranks second in the Summit League and is 105th in the nation.
- Samuel Nagy reached the score sheet in the Roos' game against Oral Roberts, his first collegiate goal. He has attempted three shots on the year, the second-most by any KC freshmen.
- After playing just 92 minutes across five non-conference appearances, Carson Lindsey has started in all four of the Roos' conference contests, including two 90-minute showings.
- Cooper Clark averages 4.1 saves per game, ranking 39th in the nation.
Denver NotesÂ
- Denver enters this weekend's contest with the best conference win percentage in the league at .833. They are one of two teams to have not lost a league contest.
- The Pioneers have made the most of an intense schedule, picking up five results (two wins, three draws) against nationally ranked opponents.
- Denver comes into this contest after back-to-back draws on the road against St. Thomas and No. 25 Pittsburgh.
- The Roos and Pioneers played twice last season, with both contests resulting in draws. Denver advanced in the Summit League Semifinal matchup, defeating the Roos 4-3 in PKs en route to an NCAA Tournament berth.
- Sam Bassett leads DU with five goals scored.
