A Look At The Brewers (1-0):

• The Brewers boast three captains this season in Mickey Adams, Jesse Browne and Alex Seff.
• Vassar opens the season with four games at home before playing the rest of 2016 on the road. The Brewers will face two NESCAC schools during that road trip, facing Williams College and Wesleyan University before getting into Liberty League play.
• Vassar is one of three Liberty League teams to take the season-opener, as Bard College, Union College and Clarkson University all fell in their first game.
• The Brewers shot a whopping 50 percent from the floor and 38 percent (6-of-16) from three, while holding their visitors to 39 and 29 percent (6-of-21), respectively, in the season-opener.

• Owen Murray looked solid at the point, compiling eight points, three rebounds, two assists and three steals over 35 minutes in his collegiate debut. Fellow freshman Hunter Gettings also played well, registering a game-high four steals over 17 minutes.
• Alex Seff's 34 points against New Paltz are tied for the second most for a single game in school history. The guard shares the honor with Ed Pittman, who poured in 34 against Bard in 1981.
• Alex Seff (34 points, 12 boards vs. New Paltz) currently has one other collegiate double-double, having dropped 12 points and 10 rebounds on Union last season.

• Keuka totaled just three points from the bench, as the starters did most of the scoring.
• The Wolves and Statesmen were fairly even as far as field goal percentages; however, Keuka struggled from beyond the arc, connecting on 19 percent (3-of-16) of three-pointers. Conversely, Hobart shot 25 percent from three, knocking down seven triples.
• This season, Keuka has six freshmen, six sophomores and four juniors, as the team does not have any seniors on the roster.
• Head coach Thad Phillips is in his seventh season with the program. His most successful season came during 2014-15, as he led the Wolves to a winning 15-10 record, including a trip to the NEAC semifinals.
• The Wolves aim to build off their 2015-16 season, in which they finished 9-14 overall and 6-11 in conference play, earning the fifth spot in the NEAC standings.

• Both teams struggled from beyond the arc, with Johnson holding a slight edge in three-point percentage, 25 to 24 percent.
• Johnson State capitalized on UMPI's mistakes, scoring 22 points off the Owls' 20 giveaways.
• Marquon Wynn and Rasul Jackson led the balanced Badgers offense with 14 and 13 points, respectively. Jeyquan Johnson added 11 points and collected a team high eight rebounds off the bench.
• Johnson State's roster is comprised of five freshmen, two sophomores, eight juniors and two seniors.
• Head coach Miles Smith, who graduated from Johnson State in 2009, is back to lead the Badgers for a second season.
