The Lobos' chemistry is evident based on their performance on the field. The communication between Andrew Weber and his back line exemplifies the cohesion of the team and head coach Jeremy Fishbein has instilled disciplined and mindful play in his defenders.
To be successful this weekend the Lobo midfielders must control the flow of play. Ryan McVay and company will look to provide a steady diet of opportunities in assists for the strikers up front.
Weber has only allowed one goal in two games and will face two squads who have not scored a goal this year.
IUPUI is looking for a win after losing a close game to Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne in its season opener.
The Cincinnati Bearcats started the 2003 season with a 0-0 tie with the Bowling Green Falcons.
"I have never played against either of these teams, but it looks as if neither of them have any top goal scorers," Weber said.
The game Sunday will reacquaint head coach Jeremy Fishbein with his alma mater. Fishbein finished his college career with the Bearcats in the 1988 season before playing professional soccer.
