CSU POSTS A WIN STREAK: With consecutive wins over Robert Morris, Ohio and Eastern Kentucky, Cleveland State has recorded its first successive victories in program history. Prior to this period, the best CSU had done was win two out of three matches early last season.
AN ODD SCORING PATTERN: Through seven matches this year, the Vikings have scored eight goals, none of which has been credited to any of the players at forward. Midfielder Natalie Daniels leads the way with three goals with five different players adding one goal each. Forwards Jennifer Wieand (11 career goals) and Abbie Kakias (4) have yet to score this year.
UDM'S SHUTOUT STREAK COMES TO AN END: After 366:03 minutes of scoreless soccer, Detroit goalkeeper Joanna Hinde saw her three-game consecutive shutout streak come to an end as UC Irvine tallied a goal in the 31st minute of UDM's 1-0 road loss to the Anteaters last Friday.

RAMBLERS TAKE DOWN A RANKED FOE: Loyola's 2-1 win at No. 18 Kansas last Sunday was it's first win over a ranked team in seven chances. Junior Jackie Vera and sophomore Laura Trevillian did the scoring against the Jawhawks. Vera has already eclipsed her goal and point total from last season and her four markers lead the Ramblers this year.
BEST START EVER AT VALPO: Valparaiso's 5-1-1 start is the best seven-match record in school history. The Crusaders have gotten the job done against in-state foes, posting a 4-0-0 mark against schools from Indiana this season.

HACKERSON MINDING THE NET: Wright State goalkeeper Meghan Hackerson, who stands third in the league with 34 saves, stopped 15 shots last Sunday at Alabama.
