Hawks face key weekend matchups

The Hawks have a 3-0 record at home.

The Rockhurst men's soccer team hopes to get back into the win column this weekend. The Hawks host Indianapolis Friday (7:30 p.m.) and McKendree Sunday (2:30 p.m.).

Rockhurst is now 5-1-3 overall after dropping its first game of the season at Maryville last Sunday. The Hawks are in second place in the GLVC with a 4-1-1 record.

Indianapolis (4-2-3, 2-2-2 GLVC) is coming off a 3-1 win over Truman State on Sunday. The Greyhounds have outscored their opponents 18-8 this season.

Rockhurst leads the series 14-8-3 since 1998. Indy has dominated the series lately with four consecutive wins.

McKendree (4-2-4, 2-1-3 GLVC) tied William Jewell 2-2 last Sunday. The Bearcats are 2-0-3 in their last five games.

Rockhurst, which holds an 6-3-1 advantage over the Bearcats since 2012, fell 2-0 at McKendree last year.

"These are two top-level teams. These next two weekends will be paramount for us to make a statement to the league," said Rockhurst coach Tony Tocco, who has 724 career wins.
