LOCK HAVEN, Penn. (Sept. 21, 2013) – UMass Lowell senior defender Chelsea Gillies (Chelmsford, MA) scored and goalkeeper Melanie Hopkins (Harwich, Mass.) finished the day with 7 saves, but Robert Morris University (RMU) proved too much for the NCAA Division I newcomers.

RMU held advantages in shots (19 to 9), shots on goal (16 to 6) and penalty corners (13 to 6). The Colonials were led by a hat trick from sophomore Jess Martin-Brown, who scored all three of the team's second half goals to close the door on the River Hawks.

Chelsea Gillies found the back of the net in the 65^th minute to steal the shutout from RMU. With the loss, UMass Lowell falls to 0-6 on the season while RMU improved to 5-2.
