Quinnipiac University Bobcats (0-11-2) - The Bobcats come to Glay Field trying to earn their first win of the season. Quinnipiac has scored more than one goal in a game just once this season, a 3-2 defeat against Mt. St. Mary's on October 6. The Bobcats are led by a trio of players who each have a team leading three points. Freshman forward Paul Dworak (Cromwell, Conn.), junior forward Stephen Drosopoulos (Marshfield, Mass.), and senior midfielder Jason Mammen (Medway, Mass.) each have one goal and one assist. Quinnipiac's primary goalkeeper has been freshman Conor Shilcock-Elliott (Rosemont, Pa.). He has started 10 games this year, compiling a save percentage of .844 and a 1.48 goals against average. Bobcat Head Coach Sam Carrington is in his first year at Quinnipiac. The Bobcats have never defeated the Friars.

Providence College Friars (4-10) - The Friars return to Glay Field for their first game since an October 12 victory against West Virginia (1-0). Providence was scheduled to play Villanova on Saturday, October 26, but because of inclement weather, that game was postponed. The Friars will look to rebound from two road losses to Brown (2-0) on October 15, and Seton Hall (1-0) on October 20. The Providence offense has been led this season by senior midfielder Mauricio Solano (Coral Springs, Fla.) and freshman midfielder Eoin Lynch (Yarmouth, Maine). Solano leads the Friars in points (11), is tied with sophomore midfielder Carlos Suero (Plantation, Fla.) for the team lead in assists (three), and is second on the team in goals (four). Lynch, a two-time BIG EAST Rookie of the Week, leads Providence with five goals and is second on the team with 10 points. Sophomore Jeff Newman (Northboro, Mass.) has started in goal for the Friars in the team's last seven games. In seven starts, he has compiled a 3-4 record, with all three wins being shutouts. Head Coach Chaka Daley will attempt to lead Providence to its third consecutive win at home. This game will mark the fifth time the Friars and Bobcats have met. Providence leads the all-time series, 4-0, including a 3-0 victory at Quinnipiac last season.
