This  season, UD is scoring at a rate of 1.71 goals per game and holding opponents to just 0.86 each contest. Those totals rank second and first respectively in the A-10. Junior Amass Amankona has been playing outstanding in central midfield allseason and leads the team with both four goals and six assists. His 14 points rank third in the league. Goalkeeper Chris Froschauer has made 48 saves and posted a .800 save percentage in all 14 starts.

THE SERIES

SCOUTING THE OPPONENT
WESTERN MICHIGAN
The Broncos are sitting atop the MAC standings after defeating conference favorites Akron this past weekend. WMU is now 8-4-3 on the season and 2-0-1 in conference play. Head Coach Chad Wiseman is in his second year at the helm and has his team playing well this season with wins over DePaul, Butler, Michigan, and Akron.

Through 15 games, the Broncos are averaging 1.53 goals per game and allowing 1.27 goals to opponents. WMU has blanketed opposing goalkeepers each game with 90 total shots on the year.

Connor Furgason is the top scorer for the Broncos with four on the season, to go with two assists. Goalkeepers Chase Rau (11 starts) and Drew Shepherd (5 appearances) have shared responsibilities between the posts, but they have combined for 45 saves and a .703 save percentage.
