NOTABLES
Fabian Strikes Again
So far, sophomore Lily Fabian (Monson, Mass.) has paced the team's offense, tallying two goals and three shots. In Thursday night's game against Niagara, Fabian was able to knock a header off the top of the cross bar to get the River Hawks on the board. Fabian found the back of the net again when they took on BC, as she pushed the ball past the goalkeeper to sink the River Hawks only goal of the game.
 
Fresh Faces
The UMass Lowell freshmen have quickly made an impact on the team, with all of the newcomers making appearances in the games so far this season. First-year forward Cristina Blaya (Madrid, Spain.) recorded her first collegiate assist and shot against BC.
