The Colorado College men's soccer team travels to Clarksville, Arkansas, to take on the University of the Ozarks on Friday, Oct. 4th, in its first conference road game. The Tigers are 6-1-2 entering the weekend. 
 
Last Time Out
 
CC won its ninth SCAC regular season game in a row with a 1-0 defeat of St. Thomas at Stewart Field on Sept. 29th. Zeke Lubin's game-winning goal led the Tigers in the 67th minute. 
 
The Tigers outshot the Celts 24-7. Sophomore goalkeeper Alex Wolter made four saves and recorded his second shutout win. Because of his efforts, Wolter was named the SCAC Defensive Player of the Week this Monday. It was the New Canaan, Conn. native's first conference Player of the Week honor. 
 
In The Polls
 
The Tigers moved up to No. 6 in this week's United Coaches national polls from their previous No. 7 spot. CC has ranked as high as No. 3 this year and has been ranked for eight consecutive weeks, dating back to the 2023 season. 
 
Dominant In The SCAC
 
The Tigers will go for their 10th consecutive conference regular season win dating back to 2022. CC has not been defeated in a regular season SCAC game since Oct. 29, 2023, when the Tigers dropped a 2-1 contest to then No. 3 Trinity. 
 
Since then, CC is 13-0-4 against conference opponents, excluding the SCAC Tournament. 
 
The Tigers were picked to finish first in the conference preseason poll.
 
Scouting The Opposition
 
The Eagles are 3-4-2 to start the season with wins over Ecclesia College, Lyon College, and Central Baptist College. Ozarks is in its first year in the SCAC and was picked to finish eighth by the end of the year, but the team did receive one first-place vote in the preseason coaches poll. 
 
Senior Brock Bernard leads the team with six points (2g, 2a). 10 players account for the 12 goals on the season for the Eagles. Giovanni Casias is the other player who scored multiple goals. 
 
Ozarks is led by ninth-year head coach Aaron Brueckner, the 2020-21 American Southwest Conference Coach of the Year.
