STOCKTON, Calif. – Wrapping up its non-conference slate, the Pacific men's soccer program will play Air Force for the first time ever on pitch, going to head-to-head at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday from Knoles Field.
The Tigers (3-12) look to begin their two-game home stand on a high note when welcoming the Falcons (1-12-3) to Stockton, California.
Pacific has been led by the offense of senior and captain
Luca Baltzer with his team-high three goals and eight points.
Defensively, the Tigers have flipped between junior
Mateus Ruiz-Hurst and junior
Milo Risenhoover in goal. While Risenhoover started last time out, making a season-high eight saves in a 1-0 loss at San Diego, Ruiz-Hurst has drawn the starting assignment the bulk of the matches this year with 36 saves to his name.
The Falcons come to Stockton with one win under their belt, which came against Mercer by a 2-1 score on Sept. 11. Marcos Goni leads Air Force with three goals and seven points in 13 matches.
Brody Smith has started the majority of the games in goal this year, owning a 2.07 goals against average with 57 saves.
Wednesday's match will mark the first time the Tigers and Falcons face in program history. Pacific is 1-1 against the Western Athletic Conference this year, defeating Utah Tech and falling to San Jose State earlier in the year.
The match can be viewed live on ESPN+ for the scheduled 7:30 p.m. kick-off.
