SEATTLE UNIVERSITY SERIES HISTORY
• This is the first meeting between the Toreros and the Redhawks.
 
CSUN SERIES HISTORY
• San Diego is 16-11-1 facing the Matadors all-time. In their last meeting, the duo of Freddy Polzer and Miguel Berry teamed up to score a goal apiece in the 57th and 61st minutes respectively and propelled the Toreros to a 2-0 victory.
 
BRIAN QUINN ERA BEGINS
• After eight seasons as an assistant coach and three years as an associate head coach, Quinn took the reins of the program in 2018 and made his head coaching debut against UC Irvine on Aug. 24. Seamus McFadden, who served as the head coach for the first 39 years of the program, remains on Quinn's staff as an assistant. Mike Nicholson continues on as an assistant coach and enters his 14th year with the program in 2018.
 
RETURNING IN 2018
• The Toreros return eight starters and 16 letterwinners from its 2017 squad, including United Soccer Coaches All-Far West Region selections, Miguel Berry and Henry Lander.
 
• Berry had an outstanding sophomore campaign at striker, leading USD in points (15), goals (5) and assists (5). He was named to the All-WCC first team after earning honorable mention recognition as a freshman.
 
• Lander was an All-WCC second team selection, anchoring USD's backline and helping limit opponents to 18 goals in 17 matches. Among his numerous standout plays throughout the season, his most impressive highlight occurred when he preserved a 1-0 victory for the Toreros against UC Santa Barbara, heading away a shot on the goal line with four seconds remaining in regulation.

• USD also returns WCC Freshman of the Year, Aaron Frey, who will help solidify the backline. Frey, Berry and Lander were all named to the 2018 All-WCC Preseason team.
 
• All-WCC honorable mention, Freddy Polzer, also returns and will be a key piece to the midfield and attack. He'll likely be joined by senior, Gustav Brandt, who provides size, physicality and quality distribution through the center of the field.
 
TAKING OVER IN GOAL
• The Toreros will look to Connor Hountalas, Matt Wiher and Marley Mascarenas to fill the void in goal left by four-year starter, Thomas Olsen, who graduated this past year. Olsen played every minute of the 2017 season and was drafted in the second round of the MLS SuperDraft by the Colorado Rapids.
 
CHALLENING SCHEDULE AHEAD
• The Toreros will be tested early and often with a challenging nonconference schedule and competitive WCC slate.
