PHILADELPHIA – After a week off from game action, the La Salle University men's soccer team will head to George Mason for a key Atlantic 10 Conference match on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

LAST TIME OUT

The Explorers suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to Villanova in their last outing on Tuesday, Oct. 15.
Freshman Isak Sedin scored his second goal in three games and La Salle had a man-up advantage down the stretch, but Villanova snuck in the winner in the 88th minute.
Rookie Luis Puchol recorded his first collegiate assist, while sophomore Nigel Buckley took four shots and freshman Colin Bateman put two shots on goal. Freshman Carlos Mora made a pair of saves in net.

ATLANTIC 10 OUTLOOK

La Salle enters the matchup tied with George Washington for the eighth and final spot in the Atlantic 10 Championship with six points each.
George Mason, meanwhile, is just ahead of La Salle with nine points in a four-way tie for fourth place.
With only two games to follow against Massachusetts (1-4 A-10) and St. Bonaventure (1-5 A-10), a win over George Mason would greatly improve the Explorers chances of making a playoff push.

SCOUTING GEORGE MASON

The Patriots got off to a shaky start but have recollected in conference play. They are 4-9-1 overall and 3-2 in the A-10.
George Mason suffered a 3-1 defeat at St. Bonaventure on Saturday, however, the Bonnies' first league win of the year. The Patriots have conference wins over George Washington, Dayton and Davidson.
Tunde Akinlosotu paces the offense with 11 points on three goals and five assists, while Ryan Mingachos has tallied four goals and two helpers.
In net, Brison Moorhead has done most of the heavy lifting with a 1.62 goals against average and a .736 save percentage over eight games.
