• It is also the first time Army has kept its first two opponents off the scoreboard since 1996.
• Army nearly swept the Patriot League's first round of weekly awards as Lauryn Westman (Offensive Player of the Week), Clare Shea (Midfielder of the Week), Sydney Witham (Defensive Player of the Week) and Sydney Cassalia (Rookie of the Week) were recognized.

• Cassalia became the first Army goalkeeper since 2004 to earn a shutout victory in her career debut and made three saves on the week.
