WORKING LATE
The Mountain Lions played in three games during the spring that went to either overtime or double overtime. Concord opened the season by going to double overtime against Davis & Elkins in a 1-0 loss.

The Mountain Lions avoided extra time in the last meeting against King, a 1-0 win in 2019 on a 64th-minute goal.

STANDING STRONG
Fifth-year senior goalkeeper Kyle Brown begins the season with 231 career saves which is second all-time at Concord. After Brown's spring season was ended after two games due to injury, sophomore goalkeeper Sean Monro made 23 saves in seven games. Included in Monro's efforts was a three-save contest in preserving a 1-0 shutout against Frostburg State in his first career start. Monro also stopped six shots in the victory at Wheeling. Brown was able to turn aside six shots in CU's 1-0 victory over King to begin 2019. It was the start of three consecutive shutouts for the Warren, Ohio native.

LIMITED CHANCES
In the last two home meetings with Frostburg State, the Mountain Lions have limited FSU to just eight shots on goal in 200 minutes of action. Senior defender Adrian Cabello and junior defender Daniel Haworth have been in the starting lineup for both games as the duo has helped stymy the Bobcats' offensive attack. In fact, Haworth has only missed one start in his previous two years, appearing in the lineup in 24 of a possible 25 games. In three career games against Frostburg State, senior forward Daniel Culverwell has tallied nine total shots with three coming on goal.

KING AT A GLANCE

Ben Delisle, Ruben Laureano and Carlos Sampedro all scored three goals apiece and all return to the KU lineup for the fall.
