KNIGHT WATCH
Junior midfielder Adrian Cekala has been on an absolute terror, scoring four goals in his last three games including two multi-goal games on Oct. 10 and Oct. 16, plus an assist. The recent offensive explosion has resulted in a team leading six goals and 13 points. Three Urban Knights collected their second goals of the season in the past week: senior defender Connor Henrichs, sophomore defender Oliver Hadeen, and junior midfielder Andrew Deans. Hadeen leads the trio with six points on two goals and two assists.   

FIRST PLACE COUGARS
No. 14 Azusa Pacific has enjoyed a very successful 2018 thus far, with an overall record of 11-1-1 and an undefeated conference record of 6-0-0. They come into their game with ART U on an eight game winning streak. Their only loss came in the second game of the season against No. 24 UC San Diego by a score of 3-1. The Cougars strong offense is lead by Gabriel Costa who boasts a PacWest leading 34 points from 12 goals and ten assists. APU's second highest scorer is Arturo Astorga who has collected seven goals and six assists for 20 points, sixth highest in the PacWest. Academy of Art is 2-4 all-time against the Cougars with the most recent meeting going the way of APU 2-1.

IRVINE EAGLES
Concordia sits at 5-8 overall and an even 3-3 in conference. The Eagles snapped their three game losing streak in their most recent match, a victory over Chaminade 1-0. Perhaps their most significant win came Oct. 4th, when they upset the preseason favorite Point Loma at home 3-2. Connor Gordon is the main offensive threat for the Eagles with 11 goals, fourth highest in the PacWest, and one assist for a total of 23 points, fifth highest in the PacWest. The all-time series sits even at 1-1. The Urban Knights took the most recent meeting 1-0.
