The only other time Lincoln Memorial played three straight matches that went at least one overtime was September 6-13, 2009. The team has never played four straight overtime games.
 
- Wednesday's double-overtime defeat was Lincoln Memorial's first regular season loss in overtime since October 16, 2013 against USC Aiken—a span of 10 matches. However, they did lose a 2014 SAC Tournament match to Catawba on penalty kicks during the streak.
