LOWELL, Mass. – The UMass Lowell women's soccer team (0-2-1) fought tough against Colgate (0-1-1) on Thursday evening at Cushing Field, ending in a 0-0 double overtime tie.

"I think tonight was all about bouncing back after the last game," interim head coach Mira Novak. "I was really looking for a response from the players – how we were going to respond to adversity – so I think they responded really well today."

The River Hawks (4 shots on goal) and Raiders (5 shots on goal) both generated scoring chances, but neither team was able to capitalize.
