Junior Ben Hummel has a 1.67 goals against average and a .704 save percentage with three shutouts. He along with the team are 4-3-2 entering Saturday's game.
Brown is 1-0 in league play after a 1-0 win over Columbia last Saturday. It was senior Ben Maurey that scored the lone goal, with just two minutes left in regulation, off a corner kick. The game marked the Bears fourth straight shutout and fifth overall. Brown has the second-best goals against in the league at 0.93 with senior goalie Mitch Kupstas playing every minute in goal.
