LOWELL, Mass. – Sophomore Lily Fabian (Monson, Mass.) has been named River Hawk of the Week for her opening week performances against Niagara on August 22. and Boston College on August 25.
In Thursday night’s tilt with Niagara, Fabian scored in the 16th minute of the game, when she received a cross-pass from 15 yards out and was able to knock a header off the top of the cross bar, giving the River Hawks their only goal of the game.
Fabian continued her scoring streak when the River Hawks traveled to BC to take on the Eagles. Coming back in the second half after being down 3-0, Fabian received a pass down the middle and was able to push the ball past the goalkeeper into the back-right corner of the net from 15 yards out.
The forward has compiled two goals and three shots this season, bringing her career total to eight goals and three assists for 19 points.
The "River Hawk of the Week" is chosen in voting by the UMass Lowell Athletic Communications staff. It honors the top athlete, male or female, based on performance during the previous week of competition. This is the first career River Hawk of the Week honor for Fabian.
