The Saints continue to do well in the UMAC with a perfect 4-0-0 record.  St. Scholastica is currently ranked No. 9 in the NSCAA North Regional Rankings.  Much of the success can be credited to senior goalkeeper and Captain Sam Reed (Eastbourne, England/Causeway School).  Reed has made 41 saves on the season and has three shutouts, now holding the school record with 31.  The Saints continue to see production from their young players as freshman Kyle Farrar (Sevenoaks, England/Kelsey Park Sports College) and sophomore Joe Watt (London, England/North West Kent College) have 17 and 13 points respectively.  Stemwedel, another senior captain, is third on the team with 12 points, and continues to show leadership of this young and talented Saints men's soccer team.

Northwestern Eagles (3-5-1, 2-1-0 UMAC)
After starting off the season with four straight losses, the Eagles have won three of their last four games to put themselves into a tie for third place in the UMAC.  Northwestern recently won back-to-back games 2-1 against Bethany Lutheran and Martin Luther.  Junior Sam Mann leads the team with six total points on three goals and is one of four players to start every game this season.  Sophomore Eric Bocan has been the goalkeeper on record for every game for the Eagles, making 38 saves on his way to a 3-5-1 record.

Crown Storm (3-3-0, 2-1-0 UMAC)
The Storm are tied with Northwestern for third in the conference, and are also coming off back-to-back wins over Martin Luther and Bethany Lutheran, 6-3 and 3-1 respectively.  Senior John Schultz leads the team with 14 points, and junior Jason Budish is right behind him with 13.  Those two are by far the leaders of the team, as the next closest point scorer has four points.  Crown has put its goalkeeping in the hands of a freshman, Chris Scanlon, who has 20 saves and a .500 record of 3-3-0.  The Storm will play Northland College on Friday.

St. Scholastica Saints (5-4-0, 4-0-0 UMAC)
The Saints opened conference play with four straight wins to get their overall record back to a winning one at 5-4-0.  With the Saints conference success, they have now gone unbeaten in 89 straight regular season UMAC games.  The Saints continue to be lead by the freshman Kehtel, who now has 12 points on the season.  Last season's leader, Andrea Beatt (Maple Grove, Minn./Maple Grove HS) has nine points on the season, with Kaylee Gombold (Stillwater, Minn./Stillwater HS) right behind with seven.  Senior goalkeepers Bailey Mahlum (Bismarck, N.D./Bismarck HS) and Molly Bergmann (Walker, Minn./Walker-Hackensack-Akeley HS) continue to split time this year as Mahlum has a 2-3-0 record with two shutouts and Bergmann has a 3-1-0 record with three shutouts.

Northwestern Eagles. (5-3-0, 3-0-0 UMAC)
The Eagles also come into the matchup with a perfect conference record.  Northwestern started its season off badly with an 0-3 start, but have won five straight since then to gain momentum early in conference play.  Senior Rebekah Kirby leads the team with 13 points, and sophomore Lauren Cleope is right behind her with 10.  Senior goalkeeper Tara Hanson has been the goalkeeper on record for every game with a 5-3-0 record, making 30 saves on the young season.

Last Meeting: (CSS All-Time Record vs. Northwestern: 27-9-1)
The Saints came up just short of a national tournament bid, losing to the Eagles 1-0 in last year's UMAC Tournament Championship game.  Mahlum had three saves in the loss.   

Crown Storm (0-7-0, 0-3-0 UMAC)
The Storm have not had a season that any team would hope for.  Not only have the Storm gone winless so far this year, they have yet to score a goal.  Only five players have started all seven games for the Storm, including freshman goalkeeper Hillary Brondsema, who has made an impressive 95 saves this year.  With the teams lack of shooting (30 shots, 11 on goal this season)  Brondsema's 95 saves have not been enough to earn a victory for the Storm.

Last Meeting: (CSS All-Time Record vs. Crown: 23-0)
The Saints defeated the Storm handily in their last matchup of 2010, 5-0.  Bergmann needed only two saves for the shutout.  The Saints had goals on the day from Joey Moore (Duluth, Minn./Duluth East HS), Megan Flesvig (Duluth, Minn./Proctor HS), Beatt, Shannon Carlson (Woodbury, Minn./Woodbury HS) and Malia Grosskruetz. 

*Stat to note: In the 23 matchups, the Saints have outscored the Storm 99-7.
