• VC has been effective in special situations, netting six man-up goals, while holding opponents to just one.
• The Brewers are winning the ground ball battle, 258-203, and the faceoff battle, 101-50, thanks in large to freshman Matthew Lowery, who has won 78 of 112 faceoffs on his way to picking up a team-best 47 ground balls.
