RECORDS and STANDINGS
Concord enters the contest at 3-5-1 overall, 1-4-1 in MEC play and tied for seventh in the conference standings. Notre Dame remains first in the league with a perfect record on the season of 8-0-0 overall and 6-0-0 in league games. 

SCOUTING THE MOUNTAIN LIONS
Since beginning the season 3-2-1, Concord has suffered through a season-long three-match losing streak to drop the Mountain Lions two games below .500 for the first time since Oct. 7, 2012. 

After Saturday's match, Concord will close out the season by playing five of its remaining seven games at Anderson Field. The abundance of home games late in the season is well deserved; of CU's first nine games in 2013, seven have been played on the road.

With goals in three of Concord's last four games, junior back Abby Barber now leads the team, and is tied for the MEC lead, in both goals (five) and total points (12). Barber has provided CU with a goal or an assist in six of nine games.

Despite being held scoreless over the last three games, sophomore forward Kari Simon is still tied for second in the MEC with four goals.

Freshman Emily Cole, who is second in the league in shots, rounds out CU's goal scorers on the year with one. Mountain Lions with assists on the season include Barber (two), Cole (one) and freshman back Kiana Brown (one).

Freshman goalie Kristin Twomey has started seven games and is 3-3-1 with 40 saves (.833) and a 1.11 goals against average.

SCOUTING THE FALCONS
Notre Dame's perfect start has featured a mixture of great offense and dominant defense. The Falcons have surrendered just one goal and have scored 14 times, the second-most of any MEC school.

The Falcons are led by the goal-scoring trio of Megan O'Connor (five goals), Natalie Ockunzzi (four goals) and Katherine Beattie (four goals). Goalie Kristy Kolschetzky has six shutouts in seven starts.
