DePaul (5-5-5, 2-3-2 BIG EAST) looks to bounce back after a 3-1 loss at Butler on Saturday. The Bulldogs scored off a corner kick in the fourth minute as DePaul fell to 2-1 in BIG EAST road matches this season.
DePaul broke through in the second half when senior midfielder Noeh Hernandez buried the rebound after the Butler goalkeeper stopped his penalty kick.
DePaul's 36 assists are the most in a single season since at least 2000, and Hernandez's seven assists are tied for sixth in program single-season history. The Blue Demons rank third in the BIG EAST in assists and ninth in shots at 15.07 per game, with 74 on goal. DePaul's 26 goals have come from 10 different players, and 16 players have recorded an assist.
Hernandez leads the team with seven goals, seven assists and 50 shots. His goal at Butler was the 23rd of his career, seventh on DePaul's all-time list, and his 64 career points are tied for fifth in program history. He ranks second in the BIG EAST in shots per game (3.33, 22nd nationally) and fourth in game-winning goals (3, 27th nationally), assists per game (.467, 39th nationally) and shots on goal per game (1.27).
Luca Iaccino and Keagan Pace are tied for second on the team with four goals and two assists apiece. Daniel Hickiewicz has five assists, and Quinn Bedwell has four.
