LOWELL, Mass. – The River Hawks will travel to Orono, Maine on Thursday, Oct. 2 for a 6 p.m. matchup with the Black Bears, before welcoming UMBC on Sunday, Oct. 6 in a 3 p.m. kickoff.
 
LET'S REWIND…
The squad took on their first America East opponent in an overtime thriller Sunday afternoon, with the decision falling in favor of the Hawks 2-1.
 
Sophomore Lily Fabian (Monson, Mass.) and redshirt sophomore Karah Fleet (Halifax, Nova Scotia.) connected 20 minutes into the first half when Fabian sent a long pass across the field to Fleet who was able to rip a header into the back of the net.
 
With one minute left in the first half, Izzy Lachcik equalized the score for Hartford when she dribbled the ball just outside the box pushing it into the bottom right corner of the net.
 
Heading into their fifth overtime of the season, the River Hawks were unable to make the save when Sierra Stone capitalized on a pass from Skylar Vitiello, bringing the final score to 2-1.

SCOUTING MAINE
The Black Bears have played two conference games so far, falling to Stony Brook 2-0 and tying Vermont 1-1, giving them a record of 0-1-1 in conference play. Maine is led by senior Emilie Anderson and sophomore Julia Mahoney, each tallying two goals this season. The Black Bears have outscored their opponents 10-8 and come into Thursday's match with an overall record of 4-3-1.
 
The River Hawks will look to gain their first win against Maine when they head up to Orono Thursday evening. The squad has yet to come out on top over Maine in their six matchups, with their most recent loss in 2018 where Maine came away with a 1-0 victory.
 
SCOUTING UMBC
The Retrievers head into this week with an overall record of 1-7-2 and conference record of 0-2 but will play a third conference game on Thursday before traveling to Lowell. Junior Christina Corbi leads the Retrievers in goals (4) and points (8) on the season.
 
The River Hawks and Retrievers have gone head-to-head six times since joining the ranks of Division I. UMass Lowell currently holds the series with four wins, their most recent being in 2018 in a score of 5-2.
 
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME
For Sunday's matchup against the Retrievers the squad will wear pink practice shirts in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. After a road contest with Stony Brook, the team will return home for an alumni celebration highlighting the past 25 years of UMass Lowell Women's Soccer on Oct. 17.
 
25 YEARS STRONG
This season we would like your help in celebrating 25 years of River Hawk Women's soccer. Our goal is to have 125 donors, which marks the 125th year anniversary of the University, donate $25 dollars to celebrate our 25th season of women's soccer. In the past, funds have been used for locker room renovations, enhancing our high-performance environment, and securing a more challenging out of conference schedule. We are at this point in history because of the previous 24 teams that have paved the way for us, and as we continue to build our program, we need your help!

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. Emily Nelson (Peabody, Mass.), Dunja Mostarac (Belgrade, Serbia) and Kristina Bartsch (Pulheim, Germany), continue to strive in the 2019 season, with Bartsch tallying 13 shots and Mostarac recording five over the nine games. Nelson continues her scoring streak from last year with four goals so far this season, increasing her career total to 11 goals and two assists for a total of 24 points.
 
EXTRA EXTRA
The River Hawks have competed in nine contests this year with more than half of them ending in overtime minutes. Repeating the 2018 season, the squad has now brought five different teams into overtime for an average of 95 minutes per game.
 
FRESH FACES
The Freshman class continues to make strides with eight of them recording shots over the past nine games. Cristina Blaya (Madrid, Spain.) and Anna Edson (Beverly, Mass.) continue to lead the class in shots on goal with two each.
