Upper Midwest Athletic Conference: Standings | Stats
 
Last Action: The Saints are coming off a 1-0 loss at Augsburg College on Monday night … The Auggies, who are now ranked No. 25 in this week's NSCAA Division III poll, scored the lone goal in the 18th minute … Jill Rosby (Brooklyn Park, Minn./Park Center HS ) hit the post shortly after for CSS … Kelsey Reeves (Eagle River, Alaska/Eagle River HS ) made six saves for the Saints.
 
Pivotal Win over Minnesota Morris: Last Saturday, the Saints defeated rival University of Minnesota Morris 4-0 behind a pair of goals from Leah Hamm (Duluth, Minn./Duluth Denfeld HS) and Becca Rancour (Hutchinson, Minn./Hutchinson HS ) … The four goals are the most scored against the Cougars away from Duluth in the series' history.

Plenty of Extra Soccer: The Saints have played four overtime games already this season and all four have gone to a least second overtime … CSS has not played in more than four overtime games in a season since 2005 when they had five, which is the most in program history.
 
Leading the UMAC: The Saints lead the conference with 75 corner kicks overall this season … They also lead averaging 24 shots per game in conference play … Kelsey Reeves (Eagle River, Alaska/Eagle River HS ) leads the conference with 1.05 goals-against-average and three shutouts.
 
Where they Stand in the UMAC: At the halfway point of the conference schedule, there are four teams currently with one loss … The University of Northwestern has just three conference games left, including one this Saturday against fellow one loss team Northland College … The Saints and Bethany Lutheran College are the other two one-loss teams, however, the Vikings also have a tie.
 
Upcoming Opponents
Crown Storm
Record: 3-9-0, 0-6-0 UMAC
The Storm snapped a nine-game losing streak on Thursday night with a 3-0 victory over Finlandia University (Mich.) in non-conference play … Prior to that, Crown had been shut out in its last four games … In six games this season, goalkeeper Marissa Becerra leads in the conference with a .784 save percentage … However, she has not played in the last three games … Senior Tiffany Krueger leads the team with five goals and 10 points.
