In 2007, ACU had only two games that went into two overtimes; the 2008 squad matched that number in the season's first two matches...ACU's five shots against No. 12 Drury was the third-lowest single-match total in history. Last season, ACU managed just one shot against St. Edward's (09/14/07), and four shots against St. Mary's (08/31/08)...

Marianne Glutz anchored a Rambelle defense that gave up just three goals in a 1-1 weekend while at the Drury Inn Classic in St. Joseph, Mo.  Glutz' Rambelles limited event-host Missouri Western to just seven shots and only three shots on goal in a 2-1 double overtime win for ASU.
