LOWELL, Mass. – The UMass Lowell men's soccer team will wrap up the 2015 campaign under the lights at Hartford on November 4 at 7 p.m.
Looking at the River Hawks
UMass Lowell (7-8-1, 2-3-1 AE) fell to UMBC on Senior Day this weekend, 1-0, on a goal in the 77th minute.
Wuilito Fernandes (Praia, Cape Verde) leads the team in scoring with four goals and three assists for 11 points. Guilherme Rodrigues (Lowell, Mass.) and Jay Marchand (North Andover, Mass.) both have six points (2g, 2a). In net for the River Hawks, Austin Kroll (Baltimore, Md.) has recorded a career-high seven shutouts with 45 saves and a 1.03 goals against average.
Scouting Hartford
The Hawks (4-7-5, 0-4-2) are searching for their first win since Sept. 27 (0-4-3), after having lost, 2-1, in double overtime to New Hampshire their last time out. Javoni Simms leads the offense with six goals and 12 points, while Mikkel Song has dished out six assists. In net for Hartford, David MacKinnon has made all 16 starts, recording a 1.19 GAA with 43 saves and three shutouts.
Head Coach Christian Figueroa on Hartford
"Hartford is a tough group with quality players all over the field. We'll need to be focused and put together a full 90 minutes. It'll be important to finish the season on a good note after all the work the boys have put in."
Series History
The River Hawks have never defeated Hartford, losing in all six previous matches including last year's 1-0 overtime loss in the season finale.
Honors and Awards
Kroll earned America East Co-Player of the Week honors on Sept. 21 … Edward Venta-Yepes (Lowell, Mass.) was named America East Rookie of the Week on Sept. 14 … Nana Osei (Ewing, N.J.), Jay Marchand (North Andover, Mass.) and Venta-Yepes were all named to the Brooklyn Bridge Cup All-Tournament Team.
Save Some Space in the Record Book
With Kroll's seven shutouts this season he has 12 career blank sheets, good for fourth place all-time.
Other Notables
The River Hawks are 2-2 this season against teams that made the 2014 NCAA Tournament … the win against LIU Brooklyn on Sept. 6 marked the first win in the series history… the victory over Monmouth on August 28 was the first season-opening win for the River Hawks in the Division I era.Â
