• Goalkeeper Stephanie Tapolsky (1-4-0) has started every game for the Brewers, surrendering seven goals and stopping 17.

• Through five games this season, every Brewer goal has been scored in the second half.

• Vassar showed incredible endurance last season, playing 10 extra overtime periods in 2015. In four games that went into overtime, the Brewers walked away with either a win or a draw. Already this season, the Brewers have forced an extra period (against WCSU on Sept. 7).

• The Red Dragons finished last season 15-4-2 overall and 7-1-1 in conference play. They won the SUNYAC Tournament Championship, with a win over Oswego State in the semifinals and Buffalo State in the title game.
• In 2015, Oneonta made it all the way to the second round of the NCAA Tournament before falling 1-0 in overtime to Carnegie Mellon University.
