KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The IUPUI men's soccer team will look to extend its Summit League winning streak to three on Saturday (Oct. 27) when the Jaguars take on Kansas City (6-8-2, 4-1 Summit) at 8:00 p.m. Eastern at Durwood Soccer Stadium & Recreational Field.

IUPUI is riding back-to-back shutout wins, having won at Oral Roberts (2-0) on Oct. 13 and against Western Illinois (3-0) on Oct. 20. The Jaguars swept the weekly player of the week awards as freshman goalkeeper Eduardo Cortes earned the defensive award and senior forward Ryan Robinson gained the offensive award. For the season, senior Kyle Hyland continues to lead the Jaguars in goals (8), points (18), shots (55) and shots on goal (27). However, Robinson is coming off a two-goal game and freshman defender Michael Sass has three goals and four assists from the back line.

In goal, Cortes has lowered his GAA to 1.36 in 15 games and has an .819 save percentage between the posts. His 95 saves rank among the nation's elite in that category and the Texas-native has five shutouts.

IUPUI is just 1-4-2 on the road this season, but seemingly solved the road woes two weeks ago with the 2-0 victory over ORU. 

Kansas City is just 1-4 in its past five games, but is 5-2 on the home pitch this season. The Kangaroos lost their most recent outing at Wisconsin, 2-0 on Wednesday (Oct. 24) night.

Jordan Rideout leads the 'Roos  in goals (5), points (12) and is tied for the team lead in game-winners (2). David Sarabia comes in with four goals, two of which were game-winners. The team has 19 assists on 17 goals, led by Ashley Reece's four helpers. In goal, Connor Sparrow has a 1.91 goals against average and five wins in 12 starts. Kevin Corby is 1-2-1 in four starts this season.

IUPUI is 5-9-1 all-time against UMKC and 0-7 in the previous seven meetings in Kansas City. The Jaguars won last year's meeting, 1-0 at Kuntz Stadium on Oct. 8 on a Galen Cassady goal in the 83rd minute, assisted by Hyland.
