The state of Indiana takes center stage in this week's edition of the NSCAA College Game of the Week on Fox Soccer Channel as key conference matchups are featured.

A Missouri Valley Conference men's tilt kicks off the bill as No. 24 Drake (9-4-1) travels to Evansville, Ind., to square off against the University of Evansville (9-5-1) on Friday (Oct. 23). Kickoff for the game at Black Beauty Field at Arad McCutchan Stadium is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

Drake is fresh off a 3-0 home shutout victory against Eastern Illinois. The Bulldogs' scoring leader is junior midfielder Matt Kuhn, who has tallied four goals and 13 points. DU also features two players who are on the 2009 Missouri Athletic Club's Hermann Trophy Watch List--senior midfielder Kevin Shrout and senior forward Garrett Webb. Evansville dropped a 1-0 home decision to Missouri State in its last match. The Purple Aces' top scorer is junior forward Tom Irvin, who has notched 14 points thus far. The all-time series is deadlocked at 9-9-1. The teams met two weeks ago for a thriller in Des Moines, Iowa, with the Bulldogs edging the Aces 1-0 on sophomore midfielder Thomas Ostrander's goal in the 89th minute.

The Big East Conference is the focus of the week's featured women's game as Georgetown (12-3-2) heads to South Bend, Ind., to face No. 6 Notre Dame (12-3-1) on Sunday (Oct. 25) at Alumni Stadium. The game will air on a tape-delayed basis on Tuesday, Oct. 27 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

Georgetown stretched its winning streak to four games with a 2-1 home victory against West Virginia in its last outing. The Hoyas are led by sophomore midfielder Ingrid Wells, who has tallied seven goals and 25 points. Notre Dame blanked Providence, 2-0, in its last contest to extend its unbeaten skein to 10 games. The Fighting Irish's top scorer is sophomore forward Melissa Henderson, who has seven goals and 16 points. Junior defender Lauren Fowlkes, a 2009 Missouri Athletic Club Hermann Trophy Watch List candidate, has six goals and 14 points. Notre Dame holds a 15-1-0 advantage in the all-time series, including a 3-1 victory at Washington, D.C., last season.
