- Van Dusseldorp recorded his fifth career multiple-goal contest and first since September 13 of last season. He has one career hat trick, which came in his freshman year against Maranatha Baptist. The Falcons are 5-0-0 in games which Van Dusseldorp tallies two or more goals.

- CUW posed back-to-back shutout wins for the first time since October 26 and 29 of the 2013 season. In 2013 the Falcons downed Concordia Chicago by a 2-0 score and then blanked Edgewood with a 1-0 final.

- Serna netted his first career goal and was the second Falcon freshman to tally a score this season. Diaz recorded a goal in the first match of 2015.
