LOWELL, Mass. –  The UMass Lowell women's soccer team continues America East play, as the squad suits up for a 7 p.m. home clash against Maine on Thursday, September 29,  before lacing up their cleats for a 1 p.m. match at Vermont on Sunday, October 2.
 
Looking at UMass Lowell
The River Hawks (3-4-2, 1-0-0 AE) recently snapped a three game skid last week, knocking off 2015 America East Champion UAlbany, 1-0, on Sept. 25. Junior Rachel Morrier (Plaistow, N.H.) paces the club in points and goals, tallying five and two, respectively, in addition to tacking on an assist. Through nine game so far this season, UMass Lowell has produced seven different point scorers, five of who have found the back of the net at least once this fall. Sophomore goalkeeper Julia Schneider (Bridgewater, Mass.) owns the majority of decisions in the net thus far, starting seven of the team's nine games and compiling a 2-4-1 record, while boasting a 1.01 goals against average, a 0.841 save percentage and 37 saves.
 
Scouting Maine
The Black Bears enter Thursday's contest 5-3-0 overall and 1-0-0 in America East action, after topping conference foe Vermont, 1-0, on Sept. 25, in their lone match of the week. Forwards Kaitlyn Ball and Theresa Gosch are headlining the squad, posting six and five points, respectively, with two goals apiece.

The Catamounts (5-4-1, 0-1-0 AE) are looking to snap a two-game road skid after dropping a pair of decisions last week. Vermont fell in a close 1-0 game to Dartmouth on Sept. 20, before being edged, 1-0, by Maine in the club's conference opener on Sept. 25.
