Wartburg has put three different goalkeepers between the pipes this season, but as of late, it has been Austin Boyke controlling the reigns. T, 2-2 With a 4-0-3 record and a 0.86 Goals Against Average, Boyke should be the starter come Saturday.

STORIED HISTORY...

In their regular season meeting last year, the Knights came out on top with W, 6-0 a 2-1 decision in Waverly. When the two sides met in the Iowa Conference Tournament Championship, it was Richard Lenke’s header in the 100th W, 1-0 minute that lifted Loras to victory and gave them the automatic qualifying bid to the NCAA Division III Men’s Soccer Tournament.

WHAT’S AT STAKE...

Simply put, the Duhawks take home the Iowa Conference crown with a win on Saturday. Last Saturday’s draw against Dubuque gave Wartburg their only blemish in conference play to date. With the Duhawks entering at 5-0-0 in conference play, a win against Wartburg secures for them their ninth Iowa Conference title. A draw would open up an entire slew of scenarios, diving into goal differential, in which case the Knights own the advantage with a +7 goal differential. A loss puts Wartburg at 16 points in the standings to Loras’ 15, and with Buena Vista as their final contest of the regular season should give them three additional points barring major fallout.
