Of the Holy Cross) and a goal by then-freshman Jordyn Matthews (Newton, MA/Newton North).
 
Liberty League Shaping Up:

With a win against Bard, VC can put itself in position to clinch a playoff berth in its regular season finale against Union.
 
Feast or Famine:
It has been all-or-nothing for the Brewers in their last six games, which have all ended as shutouts. The Brewers picked up three straight 1-0 wins from October 17-22, but were unable to find the net in losses to No. 14 William Smith (10/4), No. 12 Montclair State (10/8) and RPI (10/25).
