KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Kansas City Men's Soccer wraps up its regular season on Saturday evening, welcoming St. Thomas to Durwood Soccer Stadium for the first time in program history.
Kansas City Notes
- The Roos have not yet clinched their spot in the Summit League Championships, but the spot is theirs to lose. If the Roos win or draw Saturday, they're in. Should KC lose by three-plus, and Western Illinois defeat Denver by five-plus, WIU takes the final spot.
- KC will be celebrating six seniors on its final home game of the 2022 season: Philipp Basara, Cooper Clark, Kotaro Hirokawa, Kazuki Kimura, Arne Neufang and Hugo von Reis.
- Basara came to KC for one final season and has appeared in 11 matches, scoring a goal against Bradley and notching an assist against Southern Indiana.
- Clark has spent the past three years in the Roo uniform, and the two-time Summit Keeper of the Year will leave as one of the most decorated keepers of all-time.Â
- Hirokawa has started in all 29 of his matches as a Roo, and leads the team with five assists this season.
- Kimura came to KC from Coastal Carolina, earning Second Team All-Summit honors last year. This year, he has a team-high five goals.
- Neufang earned Second Team All-League honors last season and scored his first goal against Southern Indiana this year.
- Von Reis came to KC last year and scored two goals in 12 appearances.
St. Thomas NotesÂ
- The Tommies enter Saturday with a 3-11-2 record, picking up seven points in conference play.Â
- After a Senior Day win over Lindenwood, UST dropped a mid-week matchup at Southern Indiana on Wednesday.
- The Roos and Tommies faced off for the first time last season, with St. Thomas picking up a 2-1 overtime win. Wes Lorrens scored both goals for the Tommies, including a 100th minute winner that nullified Hugo Von Reis's 33rd minute goal.
