Series History: The Saints had won the first 15 meetings over the Yellowjackets up until the UMAC Tournament semifinals last season when UWS stunned the Saints with a late goal to win 1-0 … CSS has allowed just four goals against Superior in the 16 previous meetings.
Looking Ahead: The UMAC Tournament begins on Wednesday, November 6. A win on Tuesday would give the Saints the No. 1 seed and home games throughout the UMAC Tournament. A loss would put CSS in a potential three-way tie with UWS and Northwestern for first place. Based on tiebreakers, CSS would still host the No. 1 or 2 seed on November 6.
