It is the second match for Dallas in three days and will conclude a pair of tilts at Crusader Field. UD fell 2-1 in Tuesday's season-opener.

LEADING THE STATS

Senior Colton Allen (Roanoke, Texas) scored the Crusaders' first goal of the new campaign. The forward is coming off a career season, where he paced the squad with eight goals and 17 points. His effort landed him on the NSCAA All-West Region Second Team and All-Conference First Team.

Junior Barton Holdridge (Fort Worth, Texas) is ahead on the team with five shot attempts and two shots on goal. Sophomore A.J. Zaugg (Dallas, Texas) added a pair of shots and freshman Eric Haigh (Frisco, Texas) landed his lone attempt on goal.

Defensively, junior Tino Gamueda (Lubbock, Texas) has worked 90 minutes in goal for UD, and picked up four saves against six shots faced. Last season, the keeper logged 913:46 minutes in 20 games for the Navy and White. He garnered 46 saves overall and averaged 1.48 goals allowed.
