Kansas City Notes

Kansas City Men's Soccer prepares for its home opener at Durwood Soccer Stadium, still searching for the first win of the season. After a tough outing against Utah Valley to begin the season, the Roos gutted out a scoreless draw at Bradley on last Sunday.
The Roos continue play against Missouri Valley competition, hosting Missouri State and Drake to begin a four-game home stand thaat will last through the first two weeks of September.
After missing the 2022 season while recovering from shoulder injury, Stefano Camerlengo showed why he was named a Summit League 'Player to Watch,' making seven saves and holding Bradley scoreless. It was the second-most saves made by a Roo goalkeeper in a clean sheet effort in the past eight seasons.
Kansas City is still looking for its first goal of the year, but newcomer Julien Le Bourdoulous has made his presence felt on the offensive end, attempting a team-high seven shots and placing two on goal.

Missouri State Notes

The Roos will have their hands full with the Bears, who are ranked No. 18 in the United Soccer Coaches poll and took down then-No. 14 Maryland in their season opener.
MSU goalkeeper Harry Townsend was named MVC Defensive Player of the Week after the Bears' win over the Terrapins, earning the shutout and making one save on the game.
This will mark the 30th meeting all-time between these two squads, with KC trying to snap a six-game losing streak. The last meeting was a 5-1 Bears victory on Oct. 12, 2021.

Drake Notes

The Bulldogs are off to an 0-2 start to the season with losses to Marquette and Wisconsin, and will take on Western Illinois before Monday's meeting.
Drake scored a pair of goals against Marquette, coming from Jackson Kirsch and JP Pascarella.
The Roos look to avenge last season's 1-0 season-opening loss to Drake and snap an 11-game losing streak against the Bulldogs.
