Scouting Vermont
After seeing their 11-game winning streak end at the hands of UMBC on the road, the Catamounts fell from their season-high #10 in the United Soccer Coaches’ poll to #20.  During that winning streak, the Catamounts recorded eight shutouts, including seven-straight, and went a total of 792:44 of game time.  Vermont rebounded against #21 New Hampshire, preseason #9, and will likely rise in the rankings when the new poll is released just hours before Tuesday’s matchup with UAlbany.  Defensively, the Catamounts have allowed just nine goals in 16 games this season, while they have two players who have scored seven goals on offense.  UAlbany is 13-12-3 against Vermont in the program’s Division I era.  The Great Danes are 9-3 in the last 12 against the Catamounts but have lost each of the last two.
