Saint Louis (2-3-2 overall, 0-0-1 Atlantic 10) welcomes the Duquesne Dukes (4-1-2 overall, 1-0-0 Atlantic 10) to Hermann Stadium Saturday night for an A10 men's soccer match. Game time is set for 6:30 p.m.

The traditional Homecoming & Family Weekend fireworks display will take place at halftime of the match.

Saint Louis is coming off a hard-fought 1-1 tie at Dayton in its A10 opener. Alander Soares scored in the 88th minute on a PK as SLU salvaged the draw.

Duquesne won its A10 opener, 1-0, at home against Rhode Island last Saturday. Tyler Kato scored the game-winner in the 49th minute, and Dukes keeper Sam Coss made six saves for the shutout.

Here are five additional facts in advance of the match:

1 // This is the Billikens' 22nd season competing in the Atlantic 10 in men's soccer. SLU is 116-34-25 in A-10 regular-season games. The Billikens own five A-10 Tournament titles and eight A-10 regular-season crowns.

2 // Six different players have scored for the Bills. Tanner Anderson, Theo Franca and Andrew Heckenlaible have all tallied twice, while Jackson Delkus, Guilherme Gomes and Alander Soares have also scored for the Bills. Heckenlaible leads the Billikens with six points (2G, 2A).

3 // The Billikens are unbeaten in their last nine A-10 matches dating back to last year, when they went 5-0-3 in league play.

4 // SLU head coach Kevin Kalish, a three-time A-10 Coach of the Year, is in his ninth season at SLU and 15th overall as a collegiate head coach. Kalish is 84-37-37 during his time at SLU and 133-82-51 in his career.

5 // The Billikens and Dukes are meeting for the 18th time. SLU holds a 15-1-1 advantage in the series, which includes a 7-0-1 mark at Hermann Stadium. The Bills have won the last four meetings, including last year's 1-0 victory in Pittsburgh behind Theo Franca's sixth-minute goal.
