TULSA, Okla. - Riding a two-game winning streak, the IUPUI men's soccer team will head west to take on Oral Roberts (4-6-2, 0-2-1 Summit) on Saturday night (Oct. 18) at Case Soccer Complex. Saturday's match is scheduled to kickoff at 8:00 p.m. Eastern.

The Jaguars (4-6-1, 1-1 Summit) are coming off back-to-back wins over Eastern Illinois and Cincinnati in double overtime on Wednesday night (Oct. 15). Freshman Uriel Macias netted his team-high sixth goal of the season and third game-winner in the 107th minute, scoring on the back post off an assist from Cristian Soto. Freshman Jonathan Kopp helped set up the play, tapping a pass back to Soto that led to the decisive goal. IUPUI broke open the scoring midway through the first half on Soto's first score of the year and needed a Lance Davis penalty kick late in regulation to force overtime.  

Junior goalie Eduardo Cortes earned his third win of the season, registering a season-high 10 saves in the victory. He was aided by a Clint Hoffar team save in the 106th minute of Wednesday's win as a UC attacker had a header aimed for victory before the junior defender cleared the shot off the line at the last second.

Macias has now scored three goals in IUPUI's last two games and leads The Summit with six scores and 12 points. His three game-winners are also tied for tops in the league.
