KANSAS CITY, MO. - The stakes couldn't be higher for Oral Roberts men's soccer as they gear up to host the Kansas City Roos in the Summit League regular-season finale.

Midfielders Luis Flores and Jose Estrada have each contributed four assists, creating scoring opportunities and driving the team's attack. Goalkeeper Joao Mesquita has been a cornerstone for ORU's defense, notching six clean sheets, which could be crucial against Kansas City's high-octane offense.
