MOUNTAIN LION NOTES
Prior to Sunday's contest, head coach Steve Barrett and the men's soccer program will honor the careers of Xander Bailey, Matt Henderson, Ching Lok Au, Josh Sheffield and Alec Yost.

Bailey has played in 56 career games with 48 starts, but injuries have slowed the Bluefield, West Virginia native this season to just nine games. During his time, Bailey has been a part of four shutouts as a member of Concord's defense. Additionally, Bailey has one goal and one assist in his career.

At the conclusion of last season, Bailey was named All-MEC Honorable Mention.

Henderson has started 28 games in his career including all 15 this season for the Mountain Lions. Overall, Henderson has appeared in 31 games. The Liverpool, England native has scored two goals and assisted on another in a Concord uniform. Earlier this season, Henderson scored a goal in a 1-1 tie versus Urbana.

In two seasons, Lok Au has appeared five times for Concord in between the pipes. He also made his first career appearance in the field versus Urbana in Wednesday's contest. This season, the Hong Kong native has made 21 saves in four starts and has a save percentage of .778.

After sitting out last season with injury, Sheffield has started 13 of 15 games for the Mountain Lions in 2018. As a defender, Sheffield has scored four goals—three on penalties kicks—while also helping CU to a shutout of West Liberty on September 23.

Yost joined the men's soccer team this year after spending the two previous seasons with the football program at CU. The Stanardsville, Virginia native has appeared in just four games, but scored his first collegiate goal versus Urbana Wednesday.

Earlier this season, Concord's senior class helped limit Charleston to just one goal. Henderson and Sheffield both started the game for the Mountain Lions as central defenders. Sophomore goalkeeper Kyle Brown made seven saves versus the Golden Eagles to keep the score 1-0 in favor of UC.

With an assist at Urbana, sophomore midfielder Maxime Ramioulle tied Ryan Forde for eighth in points scored at Concord with 27. By scoring two more points this season, Ramioulle could move into a tie with Max Simpson for seventh in career points at CU.

CHARLESTON AT A GLANCE
The only time Charleston has not won a conference game this season came in a scoreless draw against Urbana October 4.

The Golden Eagles have allowed just three goals all season.

Freddy Tracey has six goals to the lead Charleston. Gabriel Cabral has five goals this season.
