FORT MYERS, Fla. – The FGCU men's soccer team will play its second divisional matchup as the Eagles welcome Jacksonville for a Saturday night battle at the FGCU Soccer Complex.

The Green and Blue
FGCU opened up ASUN play on the road last Saturday battling to a 0-0 draw with North Florida. FGCU registered five shots (none on frame) as keeper Gustavo Vasconcelos (Recife, Brazil/Colegio GGE) came away with three saves and his first clean sheet of the season. Three Eagles currently have at least two points this season – Markus Maurer (Friedrichshafen, Germany/Monroe College), O'Vonte Mullings (Toronto, Ontario/Northview Heights), and Tremain Simpson (Montego Bay, Jamaica/Kingston College).

Maurer and Mullings have one goal apiece as Mullings leads the Eagles in shots with four.

Scouting the Dolphins
Jacksonville enters The Nest with a 1-2-1 record going 1-0-0 in the ASUN. They are coming off a 3-0 win over Stetson. In that match, Reed Davis scored two goals to become the leader in that category while Jose Manzon assisted on both tallies. Jabari Gray and Matt Levy have each started two games in net for the Dolphins. Last week against Stetson, Levy got the starting nod. His record stands at 1-1-0.

All-Time Series
FGCU is 11-3 all-time against JU and has won the last 11 matches.
