WHEN WE LAST MET
Lewis fell 4-2 at Quincy on Sept. 20, 2015. The Hawks were ranked No. 3 in the nation at the time. Lewis held a 2-0 lead with 25 minutes left thanks to goals by sophomore Elena Cukurs (Arlington Heights, Ill./Mount Prospect) and senior Maggie Moran (Arlington Heights, Ill./Rolling Meadows). However the Hawks scored the final four goals of the game to pick up the win.

ALL-TIME VS. THE HAWKS
Lewis is 7-20-3 all-time against Quincy. The Flyers' last win over the Hawks came last season when Lewis defeated the Hawks 2-1 in Romeoville. Meg Carmody (Orland Park, Ill./Sandburg) and Lauren Grady (Algonquin, Ill./Jacobs) had goals for Lewis in the contest. In 1995, Lewis defeated Quincy in the GLVC Championship game in penalty kicks after a 2-2 tie. In the 1995 NCAA Tournament a week later, Quincy ended Lewis' season with a 2-0 win. The two clubs met again in post season in 1997 when the Flyers topped Quincy 3-0 in GLVC Tournament play.

ALL-TIME IN THE GLVC TOURNAMENT
This is Lewis' sixth all-time appearance in the GLVC Tournament (1995, 1996, 1997, 2012, 2014 and 2015). It is the Flyers' third in four seasons. Lewis won the GLVC Tournament in 1995. All-time, Lewis is 3-4-1 (Lewis' shootout decision over Quincy in 1995 accounts for the tie) in GLVC Tournament play. The Flyers' 3-0 win over Quincy on Oct. 22, 1997 is Lewis' last GLVC Tournament win. Lewis head coach Chris Koenig is 0-2 all-time in the GLVC Tournament, with a 1-0 loss to William Jewell in 2012 and a 3-0 loss to UW-Parkside in 2014.

YOU NEW HERE?
Six Flyers have started all 18 games for the Flyers this season. Included in that group are two newcomers. Sophomore Mackenzie Fuller (Aurora, Ill./Waubonsie Valley) made an immediate impact on the club after transferring from UIC. She scored five goals while adding six assists. Freshman Kianna Clark (Lake in the Hills, Ill./Crystal Lake South) helped anchor a Lewis defense which recorded eight shutouts. She also picked up two assists.

TOP 10
Senior Maggie Moran (Arlington Heights, Ill./Rolling Meadows) owns 19 career goals. Her total is tied for 9th all-time in Lewis history in career goals.

SHUT THE DOOOR

A WIN AND...
Should Lewis defeat Quincy, the Flyers would play the winner of No. 2 Truman State and No. 7 Rockhurst. That match would be played Friday, Nov. 6. at a site to be determined. Lewis tied Truman State and lost to Rockhurst this season.
