ATCHISON, KAN. - Missouri Baptist University hits the road to take on #8 Benedictine for their Homecoming game at 1:00 PM.

The Spartans are set to begin their toughest part of the season as they will visit the eighth ranked Ravens at their place. Following the road contest, Missouri Baptist will return home for their Homecoming game against #14 MidAmerica Nazarene.

Both teams are coming into this week following a bye week, the Spartans are on a four game win streak and the Ravens are on a streak of three consecutive wins. Benedictine's only loss was at home when they hosted the now #2 Grand View Vikings.
