The Battle of Baltimore Champions
Five goals in two games locked up the Battle of Baltimore title for the Tigers, who topped Mount St. Mary's 4-0 on Friday, followed by a 1-0 win over Loyola on Sunday to claim the crown. Different players scored four of the Tigers' five goals, with the first against the Mount recorded as an own-goal. Keeper Taylor Sebolao and her backline of Nicole Nicholas, Vasthy Delgado and Marissa Green, were named to the Battle of Baltimore All-Tournament Team.
 
The Series: Saint Francis
The Tigers will look to improve upon their 4-0-0 all-time mark against the Red Flash of Saint Francis. The two teams first met in 1995, a 6-2 Towson win. A 6-0 win followed in 1997 before the teams took an eight-year break from the series, clashing again in 2005, the last time the series was contested in Towson. In 2013, the Tigers took the show on the road to Loretto, Pennsylvania. Towson has won the last two contests 2-1.
 
The Series: Penn
Just two hours separate Towson and the Ivy League Quakers, yet the teams have met just twice and split the series 1-1-0. Penn won the first game back in 1992 by a 3-1 count. It would be nearly two decades before the programs met again as Towson avenged the loss with a 1-0 win on the road in 2010. No current player on the Tigers' roster was born the last time the two programs met in Towson in 1992 during the program's inaugural season.
 
Bring Your Green Hat!
After a 2-0-0 week in the Battle of Baltimore, the Tigers have run their winning streak to five, while remaining unbeaten in their last six games. The run dates back to a 2-2 double overtime draw with High Point on August 28 at the Tiger Soccer Complex. The five straight wins stand as a program record.
Towson has an unbeaten streak going at the Tiger Soccer Complex as well, sitting at 1-0-1 this year, combined with a 2-0-1 finish in 2014 to improve to 3-0-2 in its last five contests on home field.
 
490 And Counting
It's been awhile since an opponent solved the Tigers' defense. Towson has not allowed a goal in the last 490 minutes of action. The last person to score against Towson was High Point's Paige Rombach in the 70th minute of a 2-2 draw on August 28. Since then, the Tigers have turned aside 29 consecutive opponent shots on goal.
 
Swiss Tigers
The Tigers won their 16th and 17th neutral site games under head coach Greg Paynter this past weekend. Since 2007, Towson sits at 10-3-4 in neutral site contests. This season, Towson went 2-0-in the Battle of Baltimore, toppoing Mount St. Mary's 4-0 on Friday and Loyola 1-0 on Sunday at Mount St. Mary's. Towson is 4-0-2 in its last four neutral site games, with the last neutral site loss coming 2-1 against George Washington at the Navy Invitational in 2012.
