KNIGHT WATCH
Junior forward Adrian Cekala continues to lead the Urban Knights offense with three points on one goal and an assist. Cekala assisted sophomore midfielder Breki Einarsson's first career goal, which came against Notre Dame de Namur on Sept. 26. Einarsson received a well executed pass from Cekala, who flew past Argonaut defenders on ART U's quick counterattack to set up the goal. Einarsson put a solid strike on the ball with his left foot and drove it to the bottom right corner. Sophomore midfielder Edvard Edvarsson scored his first goal of the season in ART U's match against Concordia on Oct. 10. Edvarsson was awarded a penalty kick in the 79th minute and buried it in the bottom left corner. Sophomore goalkeeper Davis King led ART U to their first tie of the season on Oct. 17 against Biola with his first career shutout.

DOMINICAN PENGUINS
Dominican enters their match with ART U with an overall record of 4-7-1 and a conference record of 3-3-0 for a total of nine points. After losing three straight matches to start conference, the Penguins have bounced back and are now on a three-match winning-streak. The entire streak took place in Hawaii, beating UH Hilo 5-1, Chaminade 3-2, and in their most recent match, Hawaii Pacific 2-1. A tough, CCAA heavy, non-conference schedule resulted in a 1-4-1 record prior to PacWest play, with the lone win coming against Sonoma State by a score of 2-1. Luke Rally is by far the Penguins highest scorer with 21 points on nine goals and three assists. Academy of Art has been relatively successful against DUC in the past, with a winning record of 8-6-1 all-time. The tie came in the team's most recent meeting by a score of 2-2. 

SAINT KATHERINE'S SUNBIRDS
The Saint Katherine's Sunbirds come into their match with ART U with a record of 5-10. Deep into their season already, the Sunbirds match against the Urban Knights will be their last of the year. Saint Katherine's started their season with back-to-back losses before notching their first victory against Multnomah by a score of 6-1. A seven-match losing streak followed, and was only snapped when the Sunbirds took down California Maritime a whopping 8-1. A pair of victories came next for a three-match winning streak. In their two most recent matches the Sunbirds fell to Westcliff 2-0 and defeated Providence Christian College 4-2. The Sunbirds leading scorer is Hugo Calderon with 12 points on five goals and two assists. One point behind him is Antonio Chavez with four goals and a team leading three assists. This will be Academy of Art's first meeting with Saint Katherine's in the history of the men's soccer program.  

KNIGHTS TOPPED BY HOLY NAMES
Academy of Art men's soccer dropped a 4-0 decision to Holy Names on a sunny Tuesday afternoon at Paul Goode Field.

LOOKING AHEAD
The Urban Knights will play their final home match of the season against Fresno Pacific on Nov. 2, which is also senior day. A short ceremony will be held before the match to thank and celebrate the seniors on their hard work and dedication to the program.
