MT will play at UTEP and at ODU
MURFREESBORO – The Middle Tennessee soccer team will hit the road this weekend for the final regular season games of the year. The Blue Raiders will play at UTEP on Oct. 30 at 8 p.m. and then at Old Dominion on Nov. 1 at 12 p.m.
Entering Friday night's match, MT is tied for sixth in C-USA with 14 points. Middle Tennessee would secure a spot in the eight-team conference tournament with one win on the weekend.
MT (8-5-3, 4-2-2 C-USA) has hit a rough patch offensively and has scored just one goal in the last three matches. The lone score came off the head of Tori Hawkins against North Texas on Oct. 16.
On the flipside, the Blue Raider defense has posted back-to-back shutouts for the fourth time this season in 0-0 ties to both Rice and LA Tech. The unit has not allowed a goal for 282 minutes, the second-longest streak of the season and fifth-longest in school history.
Kerri Cook, Emily Jorgenson, Sydney Navarro and Kathy Thomas have performed well as MT's back line and only allowed the Lady Techsters to take 13 shots in 110 minutes during MT's last game.
However, goalkeeper Kelsey Brouwer has been lights out recently and during the entire season. The Franklin, Tenn. native has recorded the most shutouts in a season (nine) and her .870 save percentage is currently the second-highest in school history.
UTEP enters the weekend with an 11-6-2 record and tied for seventh in the C-USA standings with a 4-3-2 league mark. The Miners defeated ODU, 3-0, in their last contest.
UTEP is second in the conference in points with 100 and ranks sixth with a 1.21 goals allowed per game average.
For Old Dominion, the Monarchs sit at 7-10-0 overall and 5-3-0 in C-USA games. ODU is 3-1 in its last four games.
The Monarchs currently rank 10th in the conference in goals scored (19) and goals allowed (27), but are ranked fifth in the standings.
The MT-ODU matchup was originally scheduled for Oct. 2, but the game was rescheduled due to inclement weather.
Blue Raider Bullets:
· Senior Grace Summers scored the opening goal of the season at Tennessee Tech on Aug. 23 and again on Sept. 25 against Southern Miss. She led the Blue Raiders in points in 2014 with 14.
· Defender Emily Jorgenson is tied for the team lead in goals with three. The senior has scored against Western Carolina (Aug. 30), Lipscomb (Sept. 10) and UAB (Sept. 27).
· Middle Tennessee is on pace to give up the fewest amount of goals in a season in school history. MT is only allowing 0.81 scores per game, which would equate to less than 15 in the regular season. The record for fewest goals given up is 19 in 2013.
· The Blue Raiders have notched nine shutouts during the first 16 games of the season. The school record for most clean sheets is nine in 2003 and 2011.
· Middle Tennessee is averaging 0.94 goals per game this season. 2014 marked the lowest goals per game output of the Rhoden era at 1.0.
· Middle Tennessee has scored the 11th fewest goals in C-USA this season (15), but is tied for second in goals allowed (13).
· Kelsey Brouwer on the all-time MT lists: 304 saves (2nd), 31 wins (2nd), 26 shutouts (1st). With a win this weekend, she would move into a tie for first with Rebecca Cushing (2009-11) in wins.
· If the season ended today, Brouwer's .870 save percentage would be second-best in school history.
· At 4-2-2, the Blue Raiders are tied for sixth in C-USA out of 14 teams.
· 18 players have attempted shots on the year and 16 have had at least one shot on goal.

· MT's 4-1 start was the best for the team since 2006's 5-0 start.
· The Blue Raiders had four shutouts through their first five games for the first time in school history.
· MT is 0-1 all-time against UTEP, having lost last year's meeting at home, 1-0, in OT.
· MT is 0-0-1 all-time against ODU as the sides played to a 1-1 draw at ODU in 2013.
