LOWELL, Mass. – Still unbeaten in America East Conference play, the UMass Lowell women's soccer team (3-4-4, 0-0-3 AE) hits the road to take on UAlbany (3-7-1, 1-3 AE) at 2 p.m. on Sunday, October 11. The River Hawks look to score a road win over a Great Danes squad that's been outscored 11-0 in its past two matches.
Series History
Overall, the River Hawks are 8-8-3 all-time against UAlbany. Last season, UMass Lowell took a 3-1 win at home, with current River Hawks Nora Belin (Stockholm, Sweden) and Gaby Eckroth (Mechanicsburg, Pa.) finding the back of the net.
Spectacular Sophomores
The one-two punch of Belin and fellow sophomore Nina Hertz-Saebbö (Gothenburg, Sweden) has been effective for the River Hawks this season. The pair has been stacking the stat sheet in separate categories, as Belin is second in the conference with six assists while Hertz-Saebbö is second with six goals.
Toe-to-toe
Every season since 2021, either Binghamton, Maine or Vermont has won the America East regular season title. For the first time in program history, the River Hawks went undefeated against the group in the regular season. UMass Lowell played the trio in consecutive matches, earning three straight draws.
Saves Galore
As a team, UMass Lowell leads the America East and is 38th in the nation with 5.64 saves per match. Junior Rachel Welch (Franklin, Mass.) heads the charge, leading the conference with 6.25 saves per match and a 0.820 save percentage, which is good for 65th in the nation.
The Best Offense
Against Vermont, senior defenders Eliana Parreira (Chelmsford, Mass.) and Franzisca Sinclair (Frankfurt, Germany) each put shots on goal. It's the most shots on goal from defenders the River Hawks have had in a match this season.
Up Next
The River Hawks kick off at 2 p.m. on Sunday at Bob Ford Field in Albany, N.Y. After the match, UMass Lowell returns home for a tilt against UMBC on Sunday, October 18 at noon. Admission to the match, and all home matches, is free courtesy of Eastern Salt and Mahoney Oil.
