LOWELL, Mass.—After scoring the golden goal to lift the UMass Lowell women’s soccer team to a 1-0 overtime victory against Northeastern Sunday night, junior Emily Nelson (Peabody, Mass.) has earned River Hawk of the Week honors.
After a relentless 90-minute battle with the visiting Huskies, Nelson ended the scoring drought in the 95th minute, sending one into the upper left corner of the goal from long range. The goal marked Nelson’s first of the 2021 campaign.
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.
