DURANGO, Colo. – The Lone Star State awaits the No. 9 nationally ranked Skyhawks men's soccer team this week as Fort Lewis (1-0-0) travels to Austin on Thursday night for a match against St. Edward's University (1-0-1) at 6 pm before heading next door to San Antonio to meet No. 17 St. Mary's (1-0-1) at 3 pm for the first top 25 matchup of the season.
 
Match Won
Fort Lewis kicked off the 2025 campaign with a 2-1 victory over Lubbock Christian (1-1-0) last Thursday night. The Skyhawks allowed an early penalty goal to the Chaparrals, but completely flipped the script in the second half, holding LCU to zero shots while ultimately firing off 19 shots to the Chaparrals' four for the match. Alessio Andreottola made a quick impact in his first appearance, scoring his first goal on an arcing left-footed touch from the corner of the penalty area. Lorenz Guintini sealed the match in the 89th minute, splitting three defenders, including the goalkeeper, to place the game-winning header in the back of the net.

Series with No. 17 St. Mary's
Fort Lewis holds a 6-1-2 record all-time against St. Mary's since the first-ever meeting back in 1992. The Skyhawks' lone loss came back in 2014, when the two teams met in Laredo, Texas, and the Rattlers pulled out a 2-1 victory.

Last season, the Skyhawks topped the Rattlers thanks to an 80th-minute goal from Gabriel Legendre.
 
Rumbling Rattlers
St. Mary's is off to a strong start this season after heading up to Colorado last week and forcing a 0-0 draw with No. 3-ranked CSU Pueblo (1-0-1) before taking down previously No. 17-ranked UCCS (1-1-0), 1-0 in Colorado Springs. The pair of results has earned the Rattlers a No. 17 national ranking in yesterday's edition of the United Soccer Coaches Top 25 Poll. Opponents have out-shot SMU 19-to-18, taken 11 corner kicks to the Rattlers' nine, and committed 24 fouls to St. Mary's 16. Both SMU and its opponents have fired seven shots on goal.
