25th Anniversary Campaign
 
BUILDING ON A HISTORIC SEASON
The team secured their first-ever bid to the America East Tournament, making their way as far as the championship game. After a stand-out 2018 season by the 11-member freshman class, tallying 17 goals and 44 points, it's no wonder three of them garnered America-East All-Rookie team nominations.
 
 Nelson, Mostarac and Bartsch, continue to strive in the 2019 season, with Bartsch tallying 15 shots and Mostarac recording one goal and six shots over the 12 games. Nelson continues her scoring streak from last year with five goals so far this season, increasing her career total to 12 goals and three assists for a total of 27 points.
 
PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Freshman forward Stephanie Kemp (Mansfield, Mass.) earned the America East Rookie of the Week honor for her efforts in the 4-1 victory over UMBC on October 6.
 
Not only did the freshman record her first career goal as a River Hawk, but she went on to total two more goals giving her a hat trick in the win. With the stellar three-goal performance Kemp is now second on the team in goals (3) and points (6).
 
FRESH FACES
The Freshman class continues to make strides with all eight of them recording shots over the past 12 games. Kemp, Cristina Blaya (Madrid, Spain.) and Anna Edson (Beverly, Mass.) all have recorded two or more shots on goal.
