NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The No. 4 Yale women's lacrosse team hosts Rutgers Saturday at 3:30 p.m. (ESPN+, International Stream, Live Stats). The game is the second game of a doubleheader; the Yale men's lacrosse team hosts Penn State at 12:00 p.m.
 
Last Game

• Yale shut out CCSU 21-0 on Tuesday. 
• Senior attacker Taylor Everson (Montclair, N.J.) had a game-best three goals. 

 
The Bulldogs

• Yale leads the nation in draw control percentage (.691) and is second in the nation in scoring defense (4.50). 
• Yale's 15 game home winning streak is the fourth-longest active home winning streak in the nation, trailing only No. 18 James Madison (23), No. 15 Loyola Maryland (21) and No. 8 Stanford (16).
• Yale's four opponents so far this season are 10-2 against other teams, an .833 winning percentage. Only No. 2 North Carolina (.857), Stetson (.857) and No. 10 Virginia (.846) have a better opponents' winning percentage.  
• Senior midfielder Fallon Vaughn (Concord, Mass.) was named Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week on Monday. 
• Yale is off to a 4-0 start this season. Last season the Bulldogs started 9-0 before suffering their first loss. That tied for the longest winning streak to start a season in school history – the 1995 team also started 9-0.

The Scarlet Knights

• Rutgers (3-1, 0-0 Big Ten) has won three in a row since dropping the season opener 10-9 at Army.
