UMass Lowell Athletics

The UMass Lowell Department of Athletics announced on Monday that Ioanna Papatheodorou, of the women's soccer team, has earned the honor of River Hawk of the Week.
 
Papatheodorou, who enters her inaugural season with the program, scored the first goal of her career in the Lowell's season opener against Holy Cross on Thursday night.
 
Tallying her first points in a River Hawk uniform, Papatheodorou gave UMass Lowell a 1-0 lead in the 21st minute when she dogged three Holy Cross defenders, sending a shot past the hands of Crusader keeper, Olivia Dubin.
 
The "River Hawk of the Week" is chosen each week 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.
