LOWELL, Mass. – The UMass Lowell women's soccer team (5-7-4, 2-3-3 AE) celebrated Senior Day on Sunday, dropping a 5-0 match to Bryant (6-6-4, 4-2-2 AE) to conclude the season. The River Hawks set a season high with 19 shots and 10 corners in the contest.
Â
UMass Lowell honored five seniors before the match: Diana Jedrychowski (Farmington, Conn.), Luka Marceau (Newton, Mass.), Eliana Parreira (Chelmsford, Mass.), Marissa Sage (Milford, N.H.) and Franzisca Sinclair (Frankfurt, Germany). Each player in the senior class has been a River Hawk for their entire collegiate career and was part of UMass Lowell's run to the 2023 America East Championship game.
Â
During the match, freshman Märta Sundberg (Stockholm, Sweden) brought her minutes played on the season to 1,213. It's the most minutes played by a River Hawk freshman since Dunja Mostarac tallied 1,634 in 2018.
Â
Marceau tied for the team lead with three shots on the afternoon, as freshman Ines Pietikainen (Espoo, Finland) and junior Mia Eva Girgis (Montreal, Quebec) also recorded three shots.
Â
UMass Lowell controlled possession in the first five minutes, logging a shot and earning a corner within the first two minutes. Sophomore Emma Theorén (Sollentuna, Sweden) fired off two shots early, forcing the Bulldogs to make a save. Marceau tacked on a shot on goal.
Â
At around 12 minutes, Bryant found the back of the net after its fourth consecutive corner. Morgan Nelson put the Bulldogs up 1-0 early. Bryant added two more goals in the next 10 minutes, as Samantha Zaslaw and Grayson Edwards put Bryant up 3-0.
Â
The Bulldogs added a fourth goal before halftime in the 40th minute. Ava Feeley scored a header off a cross into the box. Coming out of half, Whitney Vaillant for Bryant to make it 5-0.
Â
UMass Lowell rattled off double-digit shots in the second half but couldn't score. The season ends with the River Hawks just outside the bubble for the America East tournament.
