The Players: Both Elorm Dogbey, who scored both goals against Defiance, and Alfie Harris, who netted both Quaker goals at Wittenberg University, lead the team offensively. Three other individuals - Casey Miller, Yusef Muqtadir and Michael Owusu - have all netted a single goals. Wilmington's back line of Andre Hagborn, Nick Int'Zand and Brock Biederman have started all but one contest together while WC has utilized two goalkeepers - Gabriel Swaisgood and Thomas Grimes - both of which have started two contests. Kalamazoo has scored two goals this season as Michele Alia scored against North Central College and Jaden Buist netted a goal against Concordia University (Michigan).
