MATCHUP PREVIEW
 
ALL-TIME SERIES

Last season, both squads ended in a draw, 0-0, at Greene Stadium.
 
HOWARD
 
HU (2-8-3) looks to ride momentum into the SBC Tournament (Nov. 7-11). Coach Gyau's squad has been in nearly every match this season. On the year, Howard is 2-5 in one-goal contests. Junior Andres Gomez (Silver Spring, Md.) and New York native Victor Guirma (New Paltz) have been the catalyst for HU all year, combining for nine goals on the season.
 
APPALACHIAN STATE
 
Appalachian State (7-5-3) enters Saturday on a two-match skid with setbacks against Presbyterian and Georgia Southern. Like HU, App State aims to get back on track and gain momentum going into the SBC Tournament. The club has yet to lose three matches in a row this season.
