The 12-ranked Saint Louis Billikens look to keep their perfect Atlantic 10 Conference record intact on Saturday when they face George Washington in Washington, D.C. Game time is set for noon (CT).
 
A win Saturday against the Colonials would secure the Billikens (10-0-3, 6-0 A-10) the league's regular-season title and the No. 1 seed for the A-10 Men's Soccer Championship, which is set to begin Nov. 6.
 
George Washington (4-9-2, 2-3-1 A-10), which is coming off a 1-0 win Wednesday over George Mason, remains in the hunt for an A-10 Championship berth.
