Following his game-winning goal in the UMass Lowell men's soccer team's conference opener, forward Stanley Alves (Minas Gerais, Brazil) has been tabbed the River Hawk of the Week for the second time this season.
Alves tallied the lone score in the 1-0 result against UMBC in the 43rd minute on a shot from 25-yards out that was placed in the upper right corner of the net to send the River Hawk to their fourth consecutive win. The program is 13-1-1 against America East opponents at Cushing Field since 2016, and has picked up victories in four straight conference openers.Â
The graduate student leads the team with his three goals and eight points, and is one of four players with at least two assists.
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.Â
