Here are five additional facts in advance of Saturday's match against Fordham:

1 // Jeremi Abonnel was named the A-10 Defensive Player of the Week on Monday for his performance in the VCU game where he posted six saves in the shutout. It was the first clean sheet of his Billiken career. Mason Hart earned the start in goal Tuesday against Oral Roberts and was impressive as well, making eight saves in the shutout victory.

2 // CJ Coppola leads the Billikens in scoring. He has tallied three of the Billikens' four goals this season.

3 // The Billikens are in the midst of a four-match homestand. SLU has posted a 24-3-6 record at Hermann Stadium over the last four seasons.

4 // This will be the 17th meeting between the Rams and Billikens. SLU leads the all-time series 9-6-1, including a 2-1 win last year in the Bronx.

5 // SLU's Galen Flynn will be facing his old team Saturday. Flynn played parts of three seasons at Fordham, including the 2020 campaign when he helped the Rams to the A-10 Championship.
