BILLIKEN NOTABLES
• The Billikens are No. 4 in the United Soccer Coaches East Region rankings.
• Saint Louis is 25-1-4 in its last 30 games at Hermann Stadium, a stretch that dates to the final home game of the 2015 campaign.
• Saint Louis registered a third consecutive season of undefeated A-10 regular-season play at home. The Billikens are 14-0-1 in regular-season games vs. league opponents at Hermann Stadium over that stretch.
• SLU became the 10th undefeated, untied team in the 26-year history of A-10 women's soccer, and only the sixth to accomplish the feat with a conference schedule of 10 or more games. The 2005 Billikens were 8-0-0.
• The Billikens' 11th consecutive victory extended their school-record winning streak and broke the program record for longest undefeated streak. The previous standard of 10 straight games without a loss was set in 1999 and equaled in 2017.
• Saint Louis' 15 wins tie the second-highest total in team history, matching the 2004, 2006 and 2017 Billikens. The school record of 16 was set in 2005.
• SLU's 10 A-10 wins are the most ever for the Bills in conference play (A-10 or Conference USA).
• The Billikens maintained their hold on the second-longest current winning streak in NCAA Division I women's soccer (Georgetown, 14).
• SLU has outscored its opponents 40-10 overall and 24-4 in the second half this season.
• On SLU's all-time single-season lists, Hannah Friedrich moved into a fourth-place tie in points (27) and into a sixth-place tie in goals (10). Friedrich's points, goals and assists (seven) totals all rank in the top 10 among NCAA Division I freshmen.
• The shutout was the 12th of the season and fifth in succession for the Billikens, who have allowed only three goals to A-10 opponents. It was the 10th solo clean sheet for Olivia Silverman, who made one save. Silverman moved into a second-place tie in wins (14) and a third-place tie in shutouts (10) on Saint Louis' single-season lists.
• The Billikens outshot George Washington 15-3 and, in the process, set a school record for shots in a season (385). The previous mark of 377 was set by the 2004 team. SLU also had advantages of 6-1 in shots on goal and 9-0 in corner kicks.
