Men's Soccer Returns to Conference Play Against Pioneers

Kansas City Notes

After wrapping up non-conference play on Monday against No. 8 Louisville, Kansas City Men's Soccer turns its full attention back to Summit League play, beginning with a meeting against Denver. Entering Saturday's matchup, the Roos are 0-0-2 in league play.
Edson Murguia and Julien Le Bourdoulous each scored their second goal of the season in the match at Louisville. Kansas City now has five players with two goals, matching Oral Roberts and Omaha league lead in number of players with multiple goals.
Now boasting eight total points on the season with two goals and four assists, Le Bourdoulous has reclaimed the team lead in points. He also leads the team in shots (31) and shots on goal (11).
Christian Koffi assisted Le Bourdoulous on his goal against the Cardinals, giving him three assists on the season. Koffi is still seeking his first goal of the year after notching five goals in a First Team All-League effort last season.
Brevyn Cole has given the Roos solid options on offense and defense in his freshman campaign. He has played the full 90 minutes as a wing defender in six matches, and has been a threat to make runs in the attacking third, tallying two assists on the year.
Through 10 matches, Seth Kacich still has played every possible minute on the year, and is the only Roo to boast that stat. He has also attempted one shot in each of Kansas City's first two Summit League contests.
