Demon Doings
DePaul (3-3-5, 1-1-2 BIG EAST) enters Tuesday unbeaten in its last two matches after a 0-0 draw with St. John's on Friday afternoon at Wish Field. The Blue Demons outshot the Red Storm 12-5 in the second half, a week after picking up their first road win of the season with a 2-1 victory at UConn.
Fifth-year goalkeeper Chance Johnson was named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll on Monday, the first weekly conference honor of his career. The Mustang, Oklahoma, native stopped all five St. John's shots on goal for his first clean sheet of the season and the third of his career.
Senior midfielder Noeh Hernandez leads DePaul with 18 points on six goals and six assists. A four-time BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll selection this fall, Hernandez became the sixth Blue Demon to reach 60 career points and entered last week leading all active BIG EAST players in career assists (17) while ranking second in career points (61) and goals (22). He led all players with four shots against St. John's.
Scouting Western Michigan
Western Michigan (4-7-4, 1-1-2 MVC), in its 14th season under head coach Chad Wiseman, arrives in Chicago three days after a 0-0 draw at Drake.
Junior forward Vitor Geromel leads the Valley in goals (10) and points (22), and ranks among the top 10 nationally in both categories. Redshirt senior goalkeeper Alex Lindewirth leads the league in saves and saves per game.
