DAYTON - The University of Dayton men's soccer team will continue its postseason run by taking on the top-seed in the Atlantic 10 Championship tournament Saint Louis University on Wednesday, Nov. 9 at 8 p.m. ET in the A-10 Semifinals.

UD is led by senior Forster Ajago with seven goals and three assists for 17 points in 15 games. Fellow seniors Andy Sanchez and Manny Day have chipped in five goals each while freshman Joseph Melto Quiah and sophomore Michael Adedokun are tied with a team-high five assists. Junior goalkeeper Dario Caetano has seven shutouts and all 16 starts between the posts.
