The Cardinals enter the first of their two straight games against Saint John's sporting a 1-2-0 record, dropping a 3-1 decision to Concordia in its most recent contest last Sunday. … Wednesday's game at SJU is the final road game of the season for the Cardinals, who have won their only road contest of the year — beating Augsburg 2-1 on April 11. SMU is 0-2-0 on their home turf. … Eli Szymanski (La Crosse, Wis.) scored Saint Mary's lone goal in last Sunday's 3-1 loss to Concordia, converting a penalty kick in the 79th minute. … Szymanski has accounted for the Cardinals' last four penalty kick goals over the past two seasons. … Szymanski and Wally Barros (Santa Maria da Boa Vista, Brazil) have scored the Cardinals' two goals this season, while Diego Rivera (Chicago, Ill.) picked up the assist on Barros's first-half goal against Augsburg on April 11. … Szymanski leads the team in both attempts (9) and shots on goal (4).
