The 10th-ranked Saint Louis Billikens host Rhode Island Saturday for Senior Night at Hermann Stadium. Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m.
 
The Billikens will honor six student-athletes prior to match as part of Senior Night festivities – Simon Becher, Chris Bruch, Nick Faddis, A.J. Palazzolo, Iwan Webster and Patrick Wilkinson.
 
SLU (11-0-3, 7-0-0 A-10) has already wrapped up the Atlantic 10 Conference regular-season title and the No. 1 seed for the A-10 Championship. Rhode Island (9-3-2, 5-1-1 A-10) is vying for the No. 2 seed in the A-10 Championship.
 
Here are some additional facts to know in advance of Saturday's matchup against Rhode Island:
 
1 // Saint Louis is ranked No. 10 in the United Soccer Coaches Top 25 (view poll). SLU also checks in at No. 4 in the Top Drawer Soccer Top 25 and No. 9 in the College Soccer News national rankings. It is the Billikens' first top-10 appearance in the United Soccer Coaches poll since 2014.
 
2 // John Klein, who drew national honors after tying the school record with three assists in the Billikens' win over George Washington, leads the NCAA with 15 assists.  
 
3 // Simon Becher leads the Billikens with 27 points (10G, 7A). He is the first Billiken in 20 years to score a goal in eight consecutive matches. (Dipsy Selolwane, 10 straight in 2001).
 
4 // Mason Leeth recorded a pair of goals in the Billikens' win over George Washington last Saturday. Nine Billikens have scored multiple goals this season as SLU leads the A-10 and ranks seventh in the NCAA in scoring.  
 
5 // The Billikens are looking to complete the regular season with no losses for the first time since 1971 (14-0 in the regular season). With a win Saturday, SLU would become the first A-10 team since 1991 to make it through the league schedule with no losses or ties (Rutgers, 7-0-0). The Billikens are in search of their first perfect league record since going 6-0-0 in the Great Midwest Conference in 1993.
