MOUNTAIN LION NOTES
Concord enters Wednesday's matchup on a five-game winning, the longest winning streak for a Concord team since winning eight in a row during the 2012 season.
The 2012 season is also the last time Concord played in the conference postseason before clinching a berth with a 3-0 win over Fairmont State Sunday.

Luke Duffy has tripled the win total from the 2016 season when CU won just three games and by winning the final two regular season games, the Mountain Lions would quadruple last season's victory count.
In the 3-0 win over FSU, Concord recorded its seventh shutout of the season and sixth of the season for freshman goalkeeper
Katie Maher.
The Blackburn, England native has a goals against average of 1.19 which currently ranks fourth in single-season program history.

Ali Cook and freshman
Alyssa Mahar allowed FSU to take two shots and just one on goal.
Junior
Pilar Elias starts the week as the reigning MEC Offensive Player of the Week after scoring a hat trick last week against Wheeling Jesuit.

Freshman forward
Sarah Hill is right behind Elias with 16 point after notching an assist against Fairmont State.
