CINCINNATI - No. 9 men's soccer returns home to face BIG EAST foe Villanova on Saturday, Nov. 1 at XU Soccer Complex. First kick is set for 7:00 p.m. ET.
The Musketeers (10-4-2, 4-1-2 BIG EAST) are looking to rebound from a hard luck 1-0 OT loss at No. 13 Georgetown on Wednesday, the team's first in conference action, which snapped a nine-match unbeaten streak. The deciding goal came after Xavier was called for a handball in the box in the sixth minute of overtime, setting up the Hoya's Brandon Allen for the game-winning penalty kick.
Overall, XU is coming off a grueling stretch that saw the team go 2-1-0 against three consecutive NSCAA top-15 opponents – No. 6 Creighton, at No. 15 Marquette and at No. 13 Georgetown. Despite the result on Wednesday, Xavier has not been beaten in regulation since August 31.
Saturday's match will be Xavier men's soccer's first on the new BIG EAST Digital Network. Fans can tune into the match through FOX Sports GO.
