SERIES HISTORY
There have been 21 total meetings between the two programs, and Mercer bolsters a 20-1 record against the Keydets.

Bryce Griffith found the back of the net for the first time in his Mercer career after just 10 seconds of play, which tied the SoCon record for the fastest goal scored in the league's 32-year history.
LAST TIME OUT
This past Friday, Mercer closed out the regular season with a goalless draw against the College of Charleston at Betts Stadium. Sophomore goalkeeper Michael Roth earned his first clean sheet in his second collegiate start. The Marietta, Georgia, native saved a career-best four shots, including three in the second half, to shut out the Cougars.

After VMI claimed its third SoCon win in the history of the men's soccer program against the Bears, the Keydets traveled to Lynchburg, Virginia, for their regular season finale against Liberty.
