LAST TIME OUT:
Denver had 62-percent possession but couldn't find the breakthrough in a top-15 clash at the University of Denver Soccer Stadium, drawing Portland 0-0 on Friday night in-front of a season-best 1,552. FULL RECAP

QUICK HITS:

  • The Pioneers are 2-2-0 all-time against the Beavers, with Denver winning the first two matches (1999, 2006) and Oregon State winning the last two (2014, 2021). Tuesday marks the first meeting in Denver since an MPSF match between the two teams in 1999.
  • Denver has student-athletes from 12 different states and four other countries. The 12 states represented is Denver's most on a single roster in its Division I history.
  • The Crimson and Gold have 11 players from the state of Colorado, including regular starters Sam Bassett, Jason Belloli, Stefan DeLeone, captain Liam Johnson (injured), Isaac Nehme, Ben Smith, Ian Smith and Trevor Wright.
  • DU has played five of its nine scheduled matches against teams that finished in the Top-100 of the RPI a year ago. The Pioneers are 2-1-2 in those matches this season, including Friday night's draw with Portland. Tuesday's match vs. Oregon State is the sixth of the nine, and Saturday's Summit League opener against Oral Roberts is the seventh.
  • The Pios are 84-20-14 at the University of Denver Soccer Stadium since it was built in 2009, including 74-9-8 since Jack and Sheila Weinberg Head Men's Soccer Coach Jamie Franks first joined the program as an assistant in 2012 and 49-7-5 since he took over as head coach in 2015.

Up Next: Denver will close out its three-match homestand on Saturday when Denver welcomes Oral Roberts to the University of Denver Soccer Stadium for the Pioneers' Summit League opener. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. MT on Evoca TV and Pioneer Vision.
