Sunday v. Siena: Live Stats | Watch 

LOWELL, Mass.—Chasing down their first win of the season, the UMass Lowell men's lacrosse team (0-2) hosts Siena (0-3) for a matinee game on Sunday, Feb. 26, at 1 p.m. in the friendly confines of Cushing Field.
 
SCOUTING THE RIVER HAWKS
The River Hawks search for their first win this weekend after facing a pair of highly competitive non-conference opponents to open the season. Junior Conor Foley (Walpole, Mass.) currently leads the team in points heading into the weekend tilt with six goals and three assists for nine total points. The attackman also sits atop the squad in goals with six alongside sophomore Jake Davis (Franklin, Mass.). The point-producing pair rank amongst the top in the conference in goals per game with three each. Foley also ranks third in the conference in points per game with 4.50.
 
On defense, Cody Stevens and Ryan Quinlan lead the team with three caused turnovers each. Freshman Alex Chairs sits just behind his fellow defenseman with two caused turnovers and five ground balls, ranking him second on the team.
 
In the cage, freshman Calvin Desmarais () and graduate student Paul Macrina (Wrentham, Mass.) continue to split time for UMass Lowell.
 
SCOUTING THE SAINTS
Siena visits the Mill City in hopes of also picking up their first win of the season. Through the Saints' first three contests, Christian Watts leads the squad with eight points off six points and two assists. At the X, Dylan Pape has emerged as Siena's primary faceoff specialist, going 31-68 for a .456 faceoff percentage. In the cage, Christopher Yanchoris has been the Saints' go-to starter, allowing 38 goals and making 41 saves for a .519 save percentage. 
 
LAST TIME OUT
The River Hawks flew west last weekend, falling 19-9 to in-state rival UMass on the road. With his second consecutive hat trick, Davis led the team in goals and overall scoring against the Minutemen. Graduate student Domenic Giachello (Somers, Conn.) and Foley backed up Davis' three goals with two each. Senior Dakota Clark (Bedford, N.H.) and sophomore Christian Moss (Upton, Mass.) added one each to round out the goals for UMass Lowell. Moss' goal also accounted for his first collegiate goal and point.
 
Both goalies split time once again against Siena, with each registering career-highs in saves with Macrina stopping nine shots and Desmarais saving seven.
 
A WIN TODAY…
 A win today would move the River Hawks to 3-6 all time against the Saints. The last time the two teams met, UMass Lowell edged Siena 16-15 for a win on the road in 2020. A home win would also mark the first time the River Hawks defeated the Saints at Cushing Field since 2017 when UMass Lowell dealt an 18-13 loss to Siena.
