OUT OF THE GATE
• Purdue has started a Division I-leading eight freshmen in a single game. Not only is Purdue the only program to do so, but the Boilermakers have gone unbeaten in each occurrence with a victory over Western Michigan and a draw against Michigan State. On average, the Boilermakers have started seven freshmen a game this season.
• For the eighth time in Purdue history and the first time since 2014, the Boilermakers entered Big Ten play with one loss or less.
SCOUTING IOWA (4-4-1, 0-2-0 B1G)
• Iowa is coming off four straight losses, all of which have been on the road. In the Big Ten opener, the Hawkeyes fell to Maryland, 4-0 before dropping a 2-1 double overtime game to Rutgers.
• Natalie Winters leads the Hawkeyes with six points, including three goals netted this season.
• Purdue's last matchup against Iowa ended with a 2-1 loss. Kylie Hase scored Purdue's lone goal of the game.
SCOUTING NEBRASKA (5-3-2, 1-0-1 B1G)
• Through the first week of Big Ten action, Nebraska remains unbeaten after posting a win and a draw. The Huskers opened with a 1-1 draw on the road at Rutgers, before taking down Maryland 2-1.
• Sunday's game will mark the first time the Boilermakers play at Hibner Stadium, which was built in 2015.
• Nebraska's Savanah Uveges leads the team and ties for third in the B1G standings with 13 points. Additionally, Uveges owns a team-high five goals, which is just one goal shy of tying the league-best.
• Purdue's last battle against Nebraska was forced into overtime, where the Boilermakers fell 3-2 to the Huskers last October.
SECOND-HALF STRENGTH
• The Boilermakers second-half performances this year are among the best in program history. Their second-half comebacks led to victories over No. 24 Louisville, Iowa State and draws against then-No. 25 West Virginia and Michigan State.
• Purdue's ability to make adjustments during halftime has led to 78.6 percent of all goals this year (11 of 14) occurring in the second period.
PURDUE'S LEADERS
• Kylie Hase set the Purdue program record after scoring in six consecutive games. Her streak was brought to an end Sunday with the team's 1-0 loss to Michigan. Her six goals stand as a team-high along with a team-leading 12 points.
• Sarah Clark follows Hase with nine points and a team-high five assists, which ties as No. 19 in the nation. The sophomore also owns two goals, which have both come on penalty kicks.
• Junior Ena Sabanagic leads Purdue off the bench with two goals this year.
LAST TIME OUT
• Purdue's six-game home unbeaten streak came to an end last Sunday after Purdue dropped only its second game of the season to Michigan.
• The Boilermakers reached a stalemate with Michigan State in the conference opener with a score of 2-2. In the draw, Purdue recorded 30 shots, which is the most by a Big Ten team in a conference match this year and the most in any game by the Boilermakers since 2014, which also came against MSU.
