PREVIEWING THE TIGERS...In a rematch of last year’s Sectional Final, the Duhawks face off against Trinity University Friday night at 7:30 p.m. The Tigers enter boasting a 23-1 overall record and went 14-0 in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC).

Johnny Lawson leads the Tigers with 17 goals and eight assists for a Trinity side that has scored 82 goals this season, an average of 3.42 per game. Lawson, who now has 96 points (40G-16A) in his career, will draw the attention of Loras’ marking backs when kickoff rolls around on Friday.

Right behind Lawson on the leaderboard is Victor Araujo, who enters with 27 points (9G-9A). The Salvador, Brazil native has torched opposing defenses throughout his career as he has 77 points (26G-25A) in three seasons.

In goal, San Antonio native Matt Cardone is in his senior season and will be looking for revenge against the team that ended his junior season. Cardone enters with 29 career shutouts and has only allowed 37 goals in 80 career games.

PREVIEWING THE THUNDER ...On the upper half of the four-team bracket is the hosts of the weekend, Wheaton College. The Thunder enter the weekend with a 19-3 overall record and winners of the Collegiate Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin Regular Season and Conference Tournament Championships.

Five different members of the Wheaton side enter the weekend with 20 or more points. Leading Wheaton offensively is Stephen Golz, who enters the weekend with 37 points (17G-3A). Noah Anthony leads the team in assists with eight.

The Wheaton offense averages 2.73 goals per game while averaging less than one goal given up per game.

A 2-2 start to their season didn’t keep Wheaton down on their luck, as they turned it around going 16-1 in their next 17 games. Only a midseason slip up to Carthage College on October 15 prevented the Thunder from running the table in the CCIW.

PREVIEWING THE KNIGHTS ...Loras is joined in the sectional round with a familiar face for the second consecutive year, as the Knights advanced past MSOE on PK’s and defeated Chicago 2-0.

Wartburg enters with a 13-3-6 record, finishing second in the Iowa Conference but claimed the IIAC Tournament title by edging Loras in PK’s, 5-4. Dan Nadeau leads all Wartburg field players with 34 points (12G-10A). Shortly behind him is Paris Martins with 20 points (7G-6A).

TIGERS AND DUHAWKS MEET FOR SECOND TIME ...Friday’s Sectional Semifinal pits Loras and Trinity against eachother for just the second time in program history. In last year’s meeting, the Tigers went ahead in the 10th minute on a goal by Tom Carwile.

Loras came out charging in the second half, scoring in the 51st and 58th minutes to grab the 2-1 advantage, earning themselves their fourth trip to the Final Four in program history.

POSTSEASON ROAD GAMES AN ODDITY ...For the first time since 2010, Loras will be playing a NCAA Tournament game on the road. From 2011 to 2014, Loras has gone 10-1 in the Rock Bowl in the postseason.

That 2010 season saw Loras defeat Greenville in the first round before moving past Wash.-St. Louis on PK’s in the second round. The Duhawks’ run came to an end that season in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, when Loras fell 2-0 to UW-Oshkosh.

PIZZELLO LIGHTING THE LAMP ...The offensive eruption from senior Mike Pizzello has been a pleasant surprise for the Duhawks this season. In his previous two seasons on varsity, Pizzello registered five goals and four assists. To date, Pizzello has 14 goals and one assist, marking the first Duhawk to tally double digit goals since 2010, when Miguel Bonilla finished with 10 goals and seven assists. In 2009, Bonilla finished with 19 goals and six assists, leading Loras to an appearance in the “Sweet 16”.
