🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: 18.

Mason actually has two streaks of 18. The first started at the end of the 2007-08 season and stretched into the start of 2009-10. The second started in 2010-11 and extended into the first four games of 2011-12.

Both of those streaks included the only two undefeated seasons at home, 2008-09 & 2010-11, in which the Green & Gold went 14-0 in Fairfax.
