Series History SLU leads 12-7-3

Saint Louis welcomes an old conference rival on Tuesday night when the No. 9 Charlotte 49ers visit Hermann Stadium. Game time is 7 p.m.

Saint Louis and Charlotte were conference mates in Conference USA and the Atlantic 10 Conference. The teams are meeting for the first time since the 2012 season. 

The Billikens (3-2-3, 1-0-1 A-10) are riding a four-match unbeaten streak. They are coming off a 2-1 victory over Loyola Chicago on Saturday night.

The 49ers (6-0-2, 2-0-0 AAC) won 4-1 in their conference match against South Florida on Friday. Charlotte is one of 11 teams in the NCAA without a loss this year, and has trailed for just nine minutes of game action this season.

Here are five additional facts in advance of Tuesday's match vs. Charlotte:

1 // Gershon Henry was named the A-10 Rookie of the Week on Monday (read more). Henry played a full 90 minutes in his first-career start on the Billikens' back line against Loyola Chicago.

2 // Luis Lara leads the Billikens with four goals. He is SLU's active leader in career goals scored with 20 (16 at Stetson, four at Saint Louis).

3 // Seth Anderson leads the team with four assists, which is tied for the most in the A-10.

4 // The Billikens generate 13 corner kicks per game, which leads the A-10 and ranks seventh in the NCAA.

5 // This will be the 23rd meeting between the Billikens and 49ers, as the teams met regularly as members of Conference USA (1995-2004) and the Atlantic 10 Conference (2005-12). The Billikens lead the series 12-7-3, though Charlotte has won four straight in the series.

UP NEXT

The Billikens continue Atlantic 10 Conference play on Saturday, welcoming Duquesne to Hermann Stadium for a 7 p.m. kick.
