ON KENTUCKY
• Kentucky won the Conference USA regular season title for the first time in 2015, going undefeated in the league while conceding just one goal in conference play. UK is coming off back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances.

• UK opened with a 4-0 win at Marquette last Friday. Napo Matsoso scored twice in a span of a little over two minutes to stake the Wildcats to a 2-0 advantage in the 45th minute. The Cats added two second-half goals for the final margin. Keeper Stuart Ford was credited with two saves in recording the shutout. UK outshot Marquette 15-14.

THE SERIES
This is the first meeting between the Dukes and Wildcats.

LAST GAME
The Dukes got a goal from senior Chris Alescio in the 49th minute to draw even from a 1-0 halftime deficit, before first-year New Mexico transfer Olav Hovstad took a pass from true freshman Ryan Landry and headed the ball past keeper Marcus Rojas in the 100th minute to give DU a dramatic 2-1 win over Saint Francis U on Friday night at Rooney Field. The win upped Duquesne's opening day record to 3-0-1 under fourth-year head coach Chase Brooks.

QUICK HITS
• This is the 22nd season for the Duquesne men's soccer program.

• The Dukes return seven starters from last year's 6-10-2 team.

• This is the first road game for the Dukes who went 4-4-2 away from home last season. DU went 2-3-1 in non-conference road games a year ago. The two non-conference road wins tied the school record (it was the sixth time a DU team posted a pair of non-conference road wins).

• Duquesne is 18-42-14 all-time in non-conference road games, including a 3-10-3 mark under Brooks.

• The 2015 Dukes finished strong with wins in three of their last four Atlantic 10 regular season games to earn a spot in the A-10 Championship.

• DU is looking to replace First Team All-Atlantic 10 forward Colin Phillips who accounted for 13 of DU's 23 goals and 31 of the team's 67 points last season. Phillips, who was also an Academic All-America, ranked among the nation's Top 7 in goals (t7th), points (t7th), goals/g (t5th) and points/g (t6th).

• The Dukes are also looking to replace goalkeeper Sam Frymier, who logged nearly 6,000 minutes in net over the past four seasons. Senior Evan Kozlowski posted three saves in 99:09 minutes in the opening day 2-1 win over Saint Francis U. for his fifth career win.

• Junior midfielder Fredrik Borenstein is DU's top returning point-getter with seven last season.

• Senior D/M Chris Alescio scored his sixth career goal in the opener to tie Borenstein for most career goals on the current Dukes roster.

• Borenstein and senior midfield/forward Bryan Fegley are the top returning goal scorers with two apiece in 2015.

• Defender Bendik Hellstroem (49 career matches, team-high 45 career starts) and Alescio (team-high 53 career matches with 42 starts) are the two most-experienced returnees.

• Duquesne returns six goal scorers in Borenstein (2), Fegley (2), Hellstroem (1), Peace Drevitch (1), Diego Vieira (1) and Ian Larson (1). The fivesome accounted for eight of DU's 23 goals.
