• A victory on Saturday would give Washington U. its first win of the 2012 season. The Bears have not started 0-4 since 1988, the last season of former head coach Ken Woody.
• The Bears have not lost four-straight games since midway through the 1992 season – Rochester (42-6), Trinity (Texas) (21-7), Rhodes (26-19), Central Methodist (34-3).
• Kenyon snapped a 24-game losing streak dating back to the 2009 season with a 31-14 victory over Earlham College on Sept. 8, 2012, in Gambier, Ohio.
• The Lords are in the midst of their first two-game winning streak since the 2009 season. Kenyon is in search of its first three-game win streak since 2006 – a year they had two three-game winning streaks.
• Kenyon is Ohio’s oldest private college and notable alumni include former US President Rutherford B. Hayes, Academy Award-winning actor Paul Newman, comedian Jonathan Winters, Emmy Award-winning actress Allison Janney and actor Josh Radnor of the sitcom How I Met Your Mother.
• Kenyon’s men’s swimming and diving team won an NCAA record 31-consecutive national championships from 1980-2010. The women’s swimming team is also considered among the best in NCAA Division III, winning 23 titles of its own since 1984.
