DURANGO, Colo. – The ninth-ranked Fort Lewis men's soccer team (1-0-2) will be back on the comforts of its home pitch and under the lights of Dirks Field this Thursday and Saturday nights, as the Skyhawks welcome Simon Fraser University (0-2-2) for its annual Nike N7 match, presented by SkyUte Resort & Casino, followed by (RV) Northwest Nazarene University (3-0-1) for a weekend showdown.
 
Nike N7
Since its creation in 2009, the Nike N7 Fund has awarded over $7.5 million in grants to 259 Native American and Aboriginal communities and organizations, reaching more than 500,000 youths. The N7 Fund supports organizations that provide sports and physical activity programming to youth in these communities. Fort Lewis College is honored to be one of just 11 institutions nationwide selected to participate in the games. At halftime, Fort Lewis will honor its Indigenous student-athletes from its cross-country, track and field, and golf teams.
 
Texas Trip
Fort Lewis is coming off a two-match road trip to the sweltering state of Texas, where the Skyhawks drew even with St. Edward's (2-0-2) 3-3 in an offensive shootout before forcing a 1-1 stalemate over at No. 17-ranked St. Mary's (1-0-2). Freshman phenoms Yohann Fila and Alessio Andreottola each scored two goals across the week, with Fila posting a two-goal brace against the Hilltoppers while Andreottola found the back of the net against both foes. Andreottola now ranks second in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference in goals scored (3) and total points (6), while ranking first in total shots (12) and shots on goal (7).

Series with Simon Fraser
Fort Lewis and Simon Fraser have met just three times in each of the past three seasons, but the Skyhawks have yet to come out on top. FLC fell 1-0 to SFU in both Grand Junction, Colo., and Burnaby, British Columbia, but managed to force a 1-1 draw last season at home in Durango. Theo Bergman owns the lone goal for the Skyhawks against the Red Leafs.
 
SFU in the Early Going
Simon Fraser has gotten off to a rocky start in 2025, first drawing with Hawaii Pacific (2-0-1) and Westmont (2-1-1), 1-1 and 4-4, respectively, to open the season down in California. The Red Leafs then returned home to British Columbia, where they were felled 3-0 by Stanislaus State (4-0-0) and 1-0 by Chico State (2-1-1) last weekend. SFU is averaging 1.25 goals per game on 11.3 shots per game against 2.25 goals-against and 14.5 shots per game by its opponents.

Series with (RV) Northwest Nazarene
Saturday night's match will mark just the second meeting all-time between the Skyhawks and the Nighthawks, with the two squads battling to a 1-1 draw in the lone meeting up in Grand Junction, Colo., back on Sept. 6, 2018. Fort Lewis took the early lead in the 28th minute with a goal from Bar Hazut before a penalty kick from Alex Mitrovic allowed NNU to equalize in the 44th minute. It will be the first home match for either team against the other.
 
Outlasting Offense
Northwest Nazarene has been lights-out on offense, outscoring its opponents 13-to-9 with just one clean sheet thanks to a 0-0 draw at MSU Denver (1-1-2) to open the season. The Nighthawks have faced a full RMAC slate thus far, topping Colorado Christian (0-3-1) at a neutral site in Golden, Colo., as well as Westminster (1-3-0), 4-2, and Colorado Mesa (1-2-1), 4-3, at home in Nampa, Idaho. The Nighthawks are firing off 3.25 goals per game on just 12.3 shots per game; however, opponents have taken an equal 12.3 shots per game for 2.25 goals against per game.
