Last Time Out
The Tommies earned two draws last week against DePaul and Milwaukee.
Last Thursday, St. Thomas took the early lead on South Field as Faris Colic netted his first of the season. The senior found the back of the net in the 21st minute of play, as the Tommies held the 1-0 lead heading into halftime. DePaul found the equalizer late in the game, scoring the tying goal with just over eight minutes to play. Both sides saw chances to win the game, but time ultimately ran before either side could come out victorious.
At Milwaukee on Monday, the match between St. Thomas and the Panthers remained scoreless through 72 minutes of play as Milwaukee tallied the first score of the match late in the second half.
St. Thomas responded quickly, as it took the Tommies just two minutes to tally the equalizer. Captain Sidney Kerr would find the game-tying goal with his first score of the season to turn back the momentum towards the Tommies with 15 minutes to play.

Faris Colic, Charlie Holton, and Keegan James are entering their fourth and final season in purple. The group has combined for 14 goals and five assists, each playing over 1900 minutes on the field in their careers and leading the Tommies through the transition to Division I athletics.
Home Field Advantage

At home, the Tommies have allowed just eight goals against from 35 shots on goal between the 2023 and 2024 seasons, shutting down top-ranked opponents with rock solid defense.
