Saint Louis opens up a three-game homestand Tuesday night when it welcomes the Blackburn Beavers to Robert R. Hermann Stadium. Game time is set for 7 p.m.
 
The match will be streamed live on ESPN+ with Dan Bettlach on the call.
 
Here are five facts in advance of the matchup:
 
1 // CJ Coppola has scored a goal in each of the Billikens' last three games, opening the scoring for SLU in all three of them. Coppola is second on the team with four goals on the year.
 
2 // John Klein continues to lead the team in scoring with five points (5G, 2A). He is 17th in school history with 78 career points (27G, 24A). His 24 career assists are tied for 13th in SLU annals.
 
3 // Klein and senior defender Alberto Suarez were named to the Hermann Trophy Watch List. Presented annually by the Missouri Athletic Club, the Hermann Trophy is the nation's highest individual honor recognizing the National Player of the Year in college soccer. The award is named after Robert R. Hermann, also the namesake of SLU's soccer stadium. A St. Louis native, Hermann was instrumental in the development of professional soccer leagues in the 1960s. He was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 2001 for his philanthropy efforts and impact on the game of soccer in America.
 
4 // Blackburn College is located in Carlinville, Illinois. The Beavers are members of the NCAA Division III St. Louis Intercollegiate Conference (SLIAC).
 
5 // Next up, the Billikens return to Atlantic 10 Conference play on Saturday when they host George Washington at Hermann Stadium in a 7 p.m. kickoff.
