MATCHUP PREVIEW
 
HOWARD
 
Howard (0-4-1) enters Saturday's matchup seeking its first win of the 2025 season and looking to bounce back from a road loss at Radford, 3-0 (Sept. 6).
 
In the contest, Christian Rufael (Washington) led the team with two shots while five other players registered attempts.
 
In goal, Ireal Wyze-Daly (Ontario, Canada) stepped up with seven saves in his first start of the season. Despite a solid effort, Howard struggled to contain a second-half surge from the Highlanders.
 
The match featured 17 fouls and six yellow cards, including five bookings after halftime.
 
The Bison will look to tighten their defense and generate more offensive opportunities as they return to Greene Stadium.
