The Falcons’ men’s soccer team will host Lipscomb University Sunday morning as part of a soccer double header.
Lipscomb will be on short rest, having to face Xavier in southern Ohio Friday evening before making the nearly 200 mile trip to Cochrane stadium where they will meet a high-flying Falcon squad on just 36 hours of rest.
The Falcons (2-2-2), are coming off their most impressive victory of the season, dismantling Wright State 3-0 Wednesday night.
The Bison, who hail from Tennessee, will look to rebound after dropping a 4-0 decision to No. 24 UAB.
The game, which starts at 10 a.m., will be the first in a double header, as the BG women’s soccer team will take on Kent State at 2 p.m.
With forward Ryan Comiskey held out of Wednesday’s game, it seemed that coach Eric Nichols would be lacking firepower up front, but three goals from three different forwards proved enough to make any coach confident of his options.
With scoring leader Max Weston making waves down the flanks, Nichols has room to experiment at the striker position with Comiskey, Colin Armstrong, Byard Ebling and Sam Galloway all looking for minutes.
Falcon Keeper Miguel Rosales will look for his second consecutive shutout, and fourth shutout in seven games Sunday, after not having to do too much with Wednesday’s victory.
