A WIN WOULD...

BARRETT REACHES MILESTONE, EYES A SECOND
Goalkeeper Courtney Barrett stopped seven shots in the loss at Iona (3.8). Although the squad was unable to come away with their first win of the season, the four-year captain between the posts captured a different win. The South Burlington, Vt. native became the first player in program history to reach 500 saves in a career. She sits 66 away from 600, currently, and would need to average 9.4 saves per game over the final seven contests to reach the second milestone.

GOING FOR GO(A)LD
Senior Taylor Sokol has led the team in goals for the entire season so far, tallying 22 goals through 10 games this season. The senior is now just four goals away from breaking the single-season, goal-scoring record of 25 set last season by teammate Rebecca Idson.

HATCH DOMINATES ON THE DRAW
One game after teammate Kelly Moran (Newfields, N.H.) tied the program record for draw controls in a game with six, Erin Hatch (Billerica, Mass.) came out victorious seven times on the draw to set a new program record. The seven draw controls also catapulted her into the team lead, which currently stands at Kendyl Finelli HAT TRICK PERFORMANCES
One game after Kendyl Finelli and Hana Caster (North Attleboro, MasTaylor Sokolp against Wagner (3.11) with each of them scoring a hat trick, Taylor Sokol, Kristina Keith (East Kingston, N.H.) and Kaylan DiModugno (Deer Park, N.Y.) each tallied a hat trick in the win over Sacred Heart (3.17).

Paige MacEachern (Lynnfield, Mass.) scored in the win over Sacred Heart (3.17) to extend the list of River Hawks to have scored a goal this season to 11, which is two more than the final total of last season.

REACHING DOUBLE DIGITS
The River Hawks have scored at least 10 goals in 13 games since 2015 and holds a 10-3 record in those games.

DEFENSE IS THE BEST OFFENSE
Six times in the opener against Boston University, the River Hawks were able to turn caused turnovers or ground balls directly into goals for the Mill City Squad. The team broke that season high with eight instances in its win over Sacred Heart. In total, through 10 games, the River Hawks have scored directly off a caused turnover or ground ball pickup 37 times - accounting for roughly 41-percent of their goals scored this season.
