The UMass Lowell men's soccer team (9-6-0, 8-4-0 NE-10) closes the regular season at home tonight against Stonehill while the volleyball team visits Southern Connecticut, both at 7:00 tonight.

With a victory tonight, coupled with a Le Moyne loss Saturday (at home vs. No. 2 Franklin Pierce), the UMass Lowell men's soccer team will ascend to third place and earn the No. 3 seed for the Northeast-10 Conference Tournament. The NE-10 Quarterfinal is slated to begin Tuesday, Nov. 1.

Franklin Pierce (11-0-1 NE-10, 15-0-1 overall) and Southern New Hampshire (10-2 NE-10, 14-2 overall) have solidified the Nos. 1 and 2 seeds.

Among the many scenarios that could play out this weekend includes Stonehill overtaking UMass Lowell for the No. 4 seed. Stonehill currently sits in sixth place and, with a win tonight and a Bentley loss this afternoon, would slide into fourth place.

The volleyball team (11-7, 7-4 NE-10) travels to Southern Connecticut State (18-7, 7-4), with whom it is currently tied for the fifth-seed in the upcoming conference playoffs.

The River Hawks are led by senior Lea Freeman (Methuen, Mass.) who ranks seventh in the NE-10 with 3.15 kills and 10th with 0.70 blocks per set. Rookie Hannah Rey (San Diego, Calif.) has also played a large role with 3.66 digs per set, 10th most in the conference.

Following tonight's match, UMass Lowell will head to Stonehill on Nov. 1 at 7 p.m.
