Fort Lewis head coach Oige Kennedy is one win away from winning his 100th career game at FLC.  Kennedy enters this week with a 99-34-7 all-time record.
 
The Skyhawks enter the weekend with a 5-1-0 RMAC record and are in third place in the league standings with 15 points.  The top two teams, Colorado School of Mines and MSU Denver, have played two more league games than the Skyhawks at this point in the season.
 
Fort Lewis will face the top team in the league on Friday, Colorado School of Mines, and the 11th place team in the league on Sunday, Colorado Christian.
 
Friday's game will count toward the conference standings but Sunday's match will count as a non-conference game.  FLC will face the Cougars again next Sunday, which will count as a conference game.
 
If the Skyhawks defeat the Orediggers on Friday, they keep their chances alive to win at least a share of the conference title.  If the Orediggers win, they would clinch the RMAC title outright.
 
The Orediggers enter the weekend ranked No. 8 in the nation with a 10-0-1 overall record and an 8-0-0 RMAC record.  They have shutout their opponents six times and have only allowed seven goals.
