The Lions have had a big week of firsts for the club:
- Named #1 Team in Conference Power Rankings
- Four game winning streak leading to top spot in Great Lakes Division
- National Player of the Week, Tate Robertson, leads the PDL Team of the Week
- Three players named to the Central Conference Team of the Week, Robertson, Jackson Dietrich and Harvey Slade

Head Coach Dan Griest shared the following, "Obviously, Lansing United is going to be a big test for us as they have shown they are one of the bettter teams in the PDL. They attack with pace and have talent all over the pitch. We have had a very focused week of training and look forward to the challenge. Our guys understand the importance of each match and I believe will be ready to play at a high level on Saturday. We have started well, but need to continue to improve our performance each time out."
