THE SERIES HISTORY – COLUMBIA
The Bears hold a 13-8-6 edge in the all-time series as the teams meet for the 28th time on Saturday.
SCOUTING THE LIONS
The Lions enter Saturday's contest unbeaten in their last seven outings (5-0-2), including a 2-1 win over Fordham last Sunday in the Bronx. Columbia's lone defeat came on Sept. 7, a tough 2-1 defeat at the hands of Army. A balanced attack led by seven different goal scorers have gotten the Lions off to a hot start in 2014 under first-year Head Coach Tracey Bartholomew. Coleen Rizzo and Madeline Linde pace the Lions with a pair of goals each, while goalkeepers Grace Redmon and Gabby Dudick have split duties between the pipes. Columbia has kept opponent off the scoreboard early in matches thus far, outscoring the competition 5-0 in first halves this season.
