Series Information
Penn leads 2-1-1 | Last meeting: 2018 (0-0 draw)

The Quakers have faced off against the Retrievers four times in program history, including a scoreless draw on Rhodes Field last season. Prior to 2018 the last meeting between the two sides came back in 1999, where the Quakers lost their only match on the road against UMBC.

Leading the League
Following his goal Sunday afternoon at Columbia, Joey Bhangdia leads the Ivy League with six goals scored in nine games this fall. His six goals are the most for a Penn player since Joe Swenson netted seven in 2017 and the most scored in the opening nine games of the year since Alec Neumann tallied six in the first eight games in 2016.

Looking Up
The Quakers are off to their best start in the Ivy League since 2013 at 1-0-1 through the first two games. Penn's result against Columbia was its first against the Lions since 2013. 

Killer Kohlbrenner
Jake Kohlbrenner has been vital for the Penn offense to start conference play, helping out with one assist in each of Penn's first two games.

Making Strides
The Quakers have 10 goals in nine games this year. Last year, it took Penn 14 games to reach the 10-goal threshold. 

Keepin' it Clean
Penn ranks ninth nationally and leads the Ivy League averaging under 10 fouls committed per game, limiting set piece opportunities for its opponents.

Scouting the Retrievers
UMBC enters Tuesday's match with an overall record of 4-6-1, including a 0-2-1 mark in the America East. The Retrievers lost their last time out, a 1-0 decision to No. 13 New Hampshire, but last week notched a 4-1 win at home over Liberty. Freshman Ryan Becher leads the team with 10 points on four goals and two assists, while five Retrievers have scored at least twice this season. Quantrell Jones has started all 11 games between the pipes, allowing an average of 1.25 goals per game.
