Tonight's game marks the 87th meeting between Gettysburg (6-0-2, 2-0-1 CC) and Johns Hopkins (7-0-2, 3-0 CC) in a series that dates back to 1936. The Blue Jays lead the all-time series 53-23-10 but the teams split a pair of games last season. Johns Hopkins won 2-0 in the regular season before Gettysburg recorded a 4-1 win in the conference semifinals.

NO. 21 WITH A BULLET: Gettysburg moved up two spots in the United Soccer Coaches' Division III national poll on Tuesday to 21st. Gettysburg remained third in the Region V poll, setting a showdown with the sixth-ranked Blue Jays tonight. Johns Hopkins is one spot ahead of the Bullets in the regional poll at second.

ONE AT A TIME: Five different Gettysburg players have scored the last five goals for the team, dating back to Aidan Muller scoring the second and third goals at Stevenson last Wednesday. The last seven goals have been tallied by six different players. All three assists during that stretch have been added by players other than the six goal-scorers.

SHOOTING BLANKS: The Blue Jays have allowed just one goal in their first nine games this season for a scant 0.11 goals-against average. That total is best in Division III. In fact, it's the lowest among all 810 NCAA institutions that compete in men's soccer. Five of their seven wins have been 1-0 final scores. The other two have been 2-0 games. The only team to score against Johns Hopkins was Lycoming, which forged a 1-all draw on Sept. 4, scoring in the 56th minute. The Blue Jays have played 664 minutes, 46 seconds of shutout soccer.
