LOWELL, Mass. – After playing a pivotal role in a 1-1 draw to help keep his team unbeaten in conference play, UMass Lowell men's soccer senior defender Rui Aoki (Hyogo, Japan) has been named the River Hawk of the Week.

In Saturday's match against UMBC, Aoki made his ninth season start in ten games. The senior played a full 90 minutes for the sixth time this season which is tied for the third most on the team. Despite playing down a man for 30 minutes, the UMass Lowell defense locked down the opposition, not allowing a goal, with Aoki making multiple key blocks to prevent the Retrievers from taking the lead.

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.

Aoki and the River Hawks are back in action on Saturday, October 12 when they host Bryant at 1 p.m.
