TEAM RECORDS: The River Hawks are 2-0 while the Lions fall to 0-2.
DID YOU KNOW? This is the first time since 2012 that SU has opened its season with a 2-0 start. The four goals are also the most in a single game since a 4-1 win at Delaware Valley on Oct. 8, 2014.
THE TURNING POINT: With 14:36 to play in the first half, Albright's Erica Bross received a red card, forcing the Lions to play a man-down for the remainder of the contest. Albright was leading 1-0 at the time but following the ejection, the River Hawks went on a 4-0 run, including two goals over a two-minute span late in the first half.
