The nationally 13th-ranked Drury soccer Panthers will look to increase their current six-match winning streak and stay in the hunt for a Great Lakes Valley Conference title when they visit Rockhurst on Friday and play host to William Jewell on Sunday.

Coach Ryan Swan's Panthers are 12-2-0 overall and 10-2-0 in the GLVC entering the final three matches of league play. Drury sits alone in second place in the standings, trailing only No. 6 Quincy (14-0-1, 11-0-1) with three league matches left for each. The Hawks have 13th-place Maryville at home on Friday, visit third-place UMSL on Sunday and close out the regular season next Wednesday at home vs. 11th-place Truman State.

After visiting Rockhurst (7-4-2, 7-3-2 in the GLVC and tied for fifth) for Friday's 7:30 p.m. start in Kansas City, the Panthers will come home to play William Jewell (3-9-3, 2-7-3) on Sunday iin a 2:30 p.m. start for Senior Day at Harrison Stadium in the Curry Sports Complex. Ceremonies for the squad's 10 seniors will begin approximately 15 minutes before the start of the match.

Drury will close out the regular season by hosting Missouri S&T (6-6-2, 5-5-2) next Wednesday, October 29 in a 7:30 p.m. match at Harrison/Curry. The Panthers, with a strong finish, would likely host a first-round GLVC Championship post-season tourney match on Sunday, November 2 in the eight-team field.

Rockhurst comes into Friday's match having gone 1-0-2 in its last three and 2-2-2 in its last six matches. The Hawks beat McKendree 2-0 last weekend at home, but then battled Bellarmine to a scoreless draw on Sunday.

The Hawks have outscored their opponents 19-7 on the season, with the seven goals allowed tying Quincy for a league low. Michael Panarisi has six goals and keeper Stefano Radio has six shutouts to lead Rockhurst, which is 3-2-1 at home this season.

Drury has outscored its foes 35-10, including 17-2 in the six wins since its last setback, a 3-2 decision at Quincy on September 28. Alec Nagel has 10 goals (third in the GLVC) and Jack Mathis has added eight goals to lead the Panthers, who have seven shutouts from keeper Logan Ponche in goal.

The Panthers have a league-low 35 saves, a credit to the defensive work of the likes of seniors Mike Lee, Ryan Haas and Eric Heet and sophomore David Cross on the back row in front of Ponche.

Drury trails Rockhurst 14-5 in the all-time series and leads William Jewell 4-1. The Panthers won 1-0 in two overtimes at Jewell last season and fell 1-0 to Rockhurst at home.
