Converse Notes:
  • The Valkyries enter the matchup 3-2-3 overall and 1-1-2 in conference play following a 4-1 nonconference victory over Bob Jones on Tuesday night.
  • Sophomore forward Jacob leads the Valkyries in scoring with nine points, split between three goals and three assists. His three goals are tied for the team lead with senior forward Kade Smith. Bandel holds the Converse lead outright for assists.
  • Ten different Valkyries have scored at least one goal this season, with three who have scored at least two.
  • Freshman goalkeeper Thiago Ausland has started all eight of the Valkyries games this season. He has conceded eight goals in 605:56 minutes on the pitch for a goals-allowed average of 1.19. He has recorded 15 saves this season for a save percentage of 0.652. He has a goalie record of 3-1-3.
Mount Olive Notes:
  • Mount Olive enters Saturday on a three-game skid, with all three losses coming to conference opponents. Most recently, the Trojans dropped their Tuesday, Sept. 22, matchup to Chowan 3-2.
  • Offensively, the Trojans are led by senior midfielder Haythem Abraham and freshman forward Drew Huff, each of whom is responsible for six points. Abraham has netted two goals and assisted on two, while Huff has scored three goals.
  • Senior goalkeeper Nick Cutlip has started and played the entirety of five of the team's games. He has conceded 18 goals and made 38 saves on 108 shots faced, posting a save percentage of 0.679 and a record of 1-4. His goals-allowed average is 3.60.
  • While the series between the Valkyries is split 50/50, thanks in part to draws in 2022 and 2023, the Trojans have not defeated the Valkyries since Oct. 23, 2021, Converse's first-ever season of men's soccer.
