SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- The tune-ups are complete and Summit League action is next for the five men's soccer programs that all churned out better than .500 records leading up to conference play.

Denver, Omaha and Kansas City all won five matches during the opening stretch of the season to pace the membership, while Oral Roberts and St. Thomas each won three times.

The Pioneers have the weekend off after holding onto the top spot in the Top Draw Soccer national poll, while the Roos visit St. Thomas, who has already matched its win total from a season ago, and Omaha, who suffered just one loss in eight non-conference matches, visits Oral Roberts.

DU will open its league slate at home Wednesday when ORU pays a visit. The Tommies hit the road in league play for the first time Wednesday with a match against the Mavericks.

Every home Summit League men's soccer match will be streamed on the Summit League Network.
