NOTES

SDSU improved to 3-1-1 all-time against SMSU.
The seven goals for the Jackrabbits were the most by the team in the past seven years. SDSU scored eight goals in a victory over Wayne State in 2018.
The Jackrabbits' eight assists as a team are tied for the third most in a game in program history. SDSU last eight assists in a 2021 victory over Morningside. The team record of nine assists came in a pair of matches in 2002 and 2006.
SDSU's 22 points as a team are tied for the fourth most in a game in program history. The Jacks previously had 22 points in a match in 2018.
The Jackrabbits allowed just one shot to the Mustangs on Friday evening. It's the ninth time SDSU has allowed one shot recorded by an opponent. Last season, the Jacks didn't allow a shot to Wayne State in a 4-0 victory.
The 1:04 span between Christensen and Brezenski's goals was one of the fastest in program history ranking 10th ever on SDSU's all-time list.
