The game will be available on ESPN+ ($).
LAST TIME OUT

- Olatoye evened the score shortly after the break, with assists credited to freshman Ike Hollinger and graduate student Mike Liska.
- The sophomore striker then gave La Salle a brief lead, as Liska and freshman Tarin Morris earned assists, in the 63rd minute before the Hawks quickly answered to make it two all.
- Senior goalkeeper Cameron Keys made four saves in net, as La Salle and Saint Joseph's finished off two overtime periods in a 2-2 tie.
