GAME OF THE WEEK
George Mason students will receive free Mason Brandannas when attending the game on Saturday night. Admission is free for all Mason students with a valid Mason student ID.

HALL OF FAME INDUCTION
The Patriots will induct three new members in the George Mason Men's Soccer Hall of Fame on Saturday. Raul Ricaurte ('72), Jonathan Borrajo ('09) and Dr. Richard Edgar ('09) will be enshrined at a ceremony at 3 p.m. at Brion's Grille restaurant in University Mall and will later be recognized on the field with their families during halftime of Saturday's game.
Ricaurte, who still shares the record for most goals and points scored in a game, was a member of the first men's soccer team in 1968. Borrajo and Edgar were teammates on Mason teams in the late 2000s, helping the Patriots reach the NCAA Tournament twice and win the Colonial Athletic Association tournament title in 2008. Borrajo was an All-CAA midfielder and currently plays for the New York Cosmos B in the National Premier Soccer League. Edgar was a CoSIDA Academic All-America First Team selection and a three-time All-CAA midfielder. He received his M.D. from the University of Maryland this past spring.

SCOUTING DUQUESNE
The Dukes (2-7-2, 0-2-1) are looking for their first Atlantic 10 win of the season. Duquesne forced overtime against Fordham, which is receiving votes in the United Soccer Coaches national poll, before falling 2-1 in the 95th minute on Wednesday in Pittsburgh. The Dukes have also lost to conference leader VCU – also receiving national votes – and tied Saint Joseph's. Freshman forward Manel Busquets leads the team with four goals, three assists and 11 points.

SERIES HISTORY
Duquesne is one of the A-10 teams Mason has played the least since joining the league in 2013. The Dukes hold a 2-0-2 edge over the Patriots. This will be the teams' first meeting since 2016 and just the second trip to Fairfax for Duquesne, the last coming in 2015. Duquesne is the only current A-10 team Mason has not defeated. Their last meeting on Oct. 19, 2016 ended in a 2-2 tie in Pittsburgh.
 
LAST TIME OUT
The Patriots rolled to a 3-0 victory over La Salle on the road on Wednesday. Junior transfer Daniel Damiani scored in the 20 th minute on a shot from more than 25 yards out. Junior Grant Robinson added a goal right before halftime in the 40 th minute and junior captain Ryan Mingachos sealed the victory with a goal in the 88 th minute. Senior Tolu Ibikunle posted the first two-assist game of his career. Fellow senior Clark Gronek registered his third career shutout – all in the last five games – and made two saves. 
 
NEXT UP
The Patriots cap off a two-game homestand against Saint Joseph's at 7 p.m. at George Mason Stadium.
