ROCHESTER, Mich. – After two-straight road games, the Oakland men's soccer team returns home for Kids Day and Staff/Faculty Day Saturday, Sept. 30 at 1 p.m. as the Golden Grizzlies welcome Milwaukee to the Oakland Soccer Field presented by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.
 
Last time out, the Golden Grizzlies (2-5-2, 1-2 HL ), nearly handed no. 12 Michigan State its first loss of the year but a Spartans' header in the 88th minute drew the match to a 2-2 tie.
 
Owen Smith and Andrew Darakdjian each recorded their second goals of the season in Wednesday's draw against in-state foe, MSU.  
 
Milwaukee (3-4-1, 1-2 HL) enters Saturday's game coming off a 3-2 win over Robert Morris after the Panthers scored all three goals in the second half.
 
Mikey Ketteman paces the Oakland offense, recording a team-best three goals on the year, good for seventh-best among Horizon League leaders. Donavan Phillip leads the Golden Grizzlies in points tallying four assists and two goals of his own. The freshman's four assists, a team-best, places him second in the Horizon league.
 
In honor of Kids Day brought to you by #MIKidsCan, children 12 years and younger receive free admission, provided they are accompanied by a paying adult, and can shoot around on the field following the match.

Oakland University staff and faculty receive discounted tickets, as well, which can be registered for here.
