Kansas City Notes

Kansas City Men's Soccer is on the road to open Summit League play, taking on the preseason favorite, Denver, in a rematch of the 2024 Summit League Finals. Kansas City defeated the Pioneers twice last season, two of the team's three Top-25 victories.
The Roos are coming off a 3-0 win over Western Illinois, limiting the Leathernecks to just three shots in the entire game. The Roos attempted 18 shots of their own, the team's second-most shot attempts in a game this season.
Jeremy Francou was named Summit League Peak Offensive Performer of the Week after scoring goals in KC's wins over SIUE and WIU. He has a team-leading five goals on the season, ranking third in the Summit League and 24th in the NCAA.
Marc Popow picked up his first Summit League weekly honor on the defensive side after posting back-to-back shutouts, the first of his career. Through his first eight collegiate starts he is allowing a 0.88 goals against average, second-best in the league.
Bryce Outman, Shotaro Kodama and Edin Clark each logged their first collegiate goals last week, giving Kansas City seven different goal scorers on the year.

Denver Notes

Denver enters Saturday's game with a 4-5 record and is coming off two-straight losses at Portland and Seattle.
Kyle McGowan leads the Pios with three goals and seven total points.
Denver is whistled for just 8.89 fouls per game, the least in the Summit and 13th-least in the NCAA.
The Roos trail 4-11-4 in the all-time series, but the tally has been more even since 2021 at 2-4-4.
The last meeting between these two teams came in the Summit League Championship last season, where KC emerged with a 2-1 victory after a 90th minute game-winner from Elie Kisoka.
