Scouting Northwestern Ohio
After moving closer to the WHAC championship with a 4-1 win over UM-Dearborn last Saturday, the Racers can claim it outright with a win in the next two matches. But the opponents slate are contenders: Davenport and Marygrove. UNOH hosts Marygrove Saturday in the regular-season finale. Pascal Debowiak paces the team with 13 of the Racers 49 goals. While Liam Davies has manned the net for all 15 matches, owning a 0.87 GAA and .755 save percentage.
 
DU-UNOH History
With the Racers in year three as a program, they and Davenport have met only three times, with the last being on the Turf Field for the WHAC Tournament championship a year ago. Davenport struck early and held on to earn the automatic berth to the NAIA National Championship with a 5-1 win over the Racers.
 
Scouting Lawrence Tech
The Blue Devils are only in their third year as a varsity program as well. This season they own a 6-10 record while picking up conference wins over Aquinas and Cornerstone. Goals seem to have been difficult to produce for Lawrence Tech as nine have combined for 21 goals. Justin Ritchey has eight of them along with three of the team's five assists to lead the pack. Joey Knoff has seen the most minutes between the posts, having a 1.78 GAA and a .736 save percentage.
