MACOMB, Ill. - The IUPUI men's soccer team will face former league foe Western Illinois (1-4-2) on Tuesday night (Sept. 18) at 4:00 p.m. Central (5 Eastern) at  WIU's John MacKenzie Alumni Field. IUPUI (1-3-2, 1-1 HL) dropped to 1-1 in league play with a 4-0 loss at UIC on Saturday night (Sept. 15). IUPUI had yielded just four goals in the season's first five games before yielding a four-spot to the Flames on Saturday. 

The Jaguars have been stiff defensively throughout the season, registering a pair of shutouts and a 1.21 goals against average in six games. Freshman Quinn McCallion has played all 593 minutes and recorded 35 saves and a .814 save percentage. In front of him, sophomore Tommy Patacca and senior Sam Gavin have been key cogs in the defense while junior Alan Aguilar has been IUPUI's most dependable midfielder. Aguilar has a team-high seven shot attempts from this midfield post while freshman forward Riley Shives has attempted six shots. 

Patacca has two of the team's three goals while junior midfielder Pedro Valladao has the team's other score. Freshman back Corey Goede has two of the team's three assists. 

IUPUI is looking to break a streak of 37 straight road contests without a win, dating back to the 2014 season. The Jaguars last true road win was a 3-1 victory at Houston Baptist on Sept. 13, 2014 when IUPUI scored three unanswered second half goals to stun HBU.

JAGS GIVING WEEK: Jags Giving Week is a week-long celebration of all things IUPUI as we look to add 500 donors over a seven-day span with all of the contributions benefiting student-athletes. To learn more, click here.

JAGS MAKING AN IMPACT: Last spring, the IUPUI men's soccer team signed Fishers-native Tyler Harris to a letter of intent to join the program through a partnership with Team IMPACT. Harris, an 11-year old battling cystic fibrosis, was on the sidelines for his first game when the Jaguars hosted Bradley earlier this season. Harris has already had a profound impact on the Jaguars' program as members of the team have also visiting the sixth-grader at home and have plans to support him at upcoming cross country meets and other events.

QUOTABLE: "I was disappointed in our execution. We came in with a game plan, but we didn't execute on that game plan. UIC has a really good team and they do a good job, but my disappointment stems from our inability or unwillingness to execute our game plan and give us an opportunity to be in the match," Barnett said.

SCOUTING WIU: Western Illinois is 1-4-2 on the season with the lone win coming over Dayton, 1-0 on Sept. 8. Paul Kirdorf scored both of his team-high two goals in WIU's 3-2 loss to Bowling Green while Daniel Kadima had the game-winner against Dayton. Tim Trilk has started all seven games in goal and has a 1.61 goals against average and .676 save percentage to accompany two shutouts. 

INSIDE THE SERIES: IUPUI is 10-10-2 all-time against Western Illinois in a series that dates back to 1998. IUPUI hasn't beaten the Leathernecks until 2012 when the Jags defeated WIU in Indianapolis, 3-0. IUPUI hasn't won in Macomb since 2000. 

NEXT UP: IUPUI will travel to Green Bay for a Saturday night (Sept. 22) contest at 7:00 p.m. Central (8 Eastern).
