LAST TIME OUT: The Yellow Jackets look to rebound after last week's 27-1 loss to the top ranked and defending national champion, Le Moyne College. Freshman goalkeeper Matt Sayegh filled in the stat sheet with 18 saves, tying his career high. Freshman attacker Sam Scarfo had AIC's only goal of the game in the third quarter.

SCOUTING THE SPARTANS: This is the season opener for Saint Thomas Aquinas. Sophomore Thomas Hollway led the Spartans in goals with 16, and points with 20 as a freshman during the 2016 campaign, with sophomore attacker Kevin Alvora's 12 goals landed him second on the squad. Sophomore Ryan Mello played all but 3:46 of the season in the Spartans' net, posting a .508 SV% and 13.74 GAA on 169 saves out of 333 shots on goal.

STAT PACK: AIC has four point-per-game players on the roster. Kevin Papineau and John Magliano each have three goals in three games, while Quinn Caesar has three assists to pace the team. Scarfo has two goals and an assist on the campaign to round out the quartet of leading scorers.

FIRST TIME MATCHUP: This marks the first ever meeting in men's lacrosse between the two institutions.

HOME OPENER: Men's lacrosse will be the second team to play their first home game against the Spartans this academic year. Field hockey took a 1-0 overtime decision against St. Thomas Aquinas on September 2, 2016 on a Chelsea Davis goal.

NEXT UP: The Yellow Jackets host Post University in a non-conference matchup on Wednesday, March 1 at 4:00 p.m.
