3) Last season the Falcons shut out the Blue Angels in each game of a twinbill, winning by scores of 8-0 and 10-0. In the second game, Emily Brekke (Waterford, Wis.) tossed a no-hitter with six strikeouts in five innings of work.
4) The Falcons typically play well in non-conference home games. CUW is 10-0 in its last 10 non-conference home games, six of those have come against Mount Mary.
