CINCINNATI – Xavier men's soccer rides a three-match win streak into this year's Crosstown Derby, meeting the University of Cincinnati on Friday night at Gettler Stadium. First touch is set for 7 p.m. in Clifton.
The Musketeers (3-1) have beaten Drake, Harvard and No. 22 Boston College in succession after falling in overtime during their season opener against Loyola Chicago. During the win streak, XU has scored three times in each match and posted two shutouts.
Coming off an 8-8-3 campaign a year ago, XU has seven starters back and returns 19 letterwinners overall after reaching the BIG EAST Quarterfinals and earning results against three ranked teams in 2016.
