2/24/2020 6:26:00 PM | Women's Lacrosse
LOWELL, Mass. – The UMass Lowell women's lacrosse team fell to in-state rival Massachusetts, 21-8 in non-conference play on Monday afternoon at Cushing Field.
Â
The River Hawks drop to 1-3 on the season, while the Minutewomen improve to 2-1 overall.
Â
"We knew coming in it was going to be a tough one," stated head coach Lisa Miller. "Our main goal was to stay in structure, and you saw bits and pieces of that early today. I was really happy with the way we cleared the ball against their ride, while making defensive stops through edging and recovering."
Â
Four freshmen; Alex Palermo (Reading, Mass.), Grace Hansen (Stamford, Conn.) Anna Bauter (Dexter, N.Y.) and Izzy Liquori (Agawam, Mass.) all pitched in second-half goals for the River Hawks. Â
Â
UMass Lowell trailed 15-4 at halftime. Liquori and senior midfielder Hana Caster (North Attleboro, Mass.) finished the day with a team-high two goals apiece. Sophomore Samantha Blair (West Islip, N.Y.) pitched in helpers for the second straight game, earning a team-high two assists for the River Hawks in the losing effort.
Â
Freshman goalie Madison Grazidei (Bayport, N.Y.) matched her personal-best with 13 stops in her third start of the season for UMass Lowell, while UMass' Lauren Win-Hiller registered five saves in her second win of the season for the Minutewomen.
Â
Three different Minutewomen; Haley Connaughton, Emma Dotsikas and Stephanie Croke totaled four goals each in the victory for the visiting team.
Â
Up next the River Hawks will welcome Bryant to Cushing Field on Friday, February 28 with the opening draw scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
