BALTIMORE – UMBC women's soccer travels to
conference-newcomer UMass Lowell on Sunday, Oct. 20 as the
Retrievers look to remain atop of the America East Conference
standings with three games remaining in the regular season. Game
time is set for noon at Cushing Field.
After dropping the conference opener to Maine, the Retrievers
(9-4-2, 4-1-0 AE) have won four straight to move into a tie for
first place with Hartford. Red-shirt junior Jessy Brown
(Plantation, Fla./American Heritage) tallied her fifth game-winner
of the season in Thursday's 2-1 double overtime victory against
Stony Brook.
Brown and sophomore forward Alexa Quaranta
(Baltimore, Md./Perry Hall) each have a team-leading 11 points on
the season, with five goals and one assist apiece. Freshman
midfielder Meg Kowalski
(Freehold, N.J./Freehold Township) dished out two assists against
the Seawolves to bring her season total to five points, while
junior back Melissa Hummmel (Downingtown, Pa./Downingtown East)
leads the squad with four helpers.
UMass Lowell is winless on the season with a 0-14-1 overall mark
and an 0-5 record in league play. Junior goalkeeper Jane
Hatzikonstantis ended a 204 minute shutout streak in Thursday's 2-0
loss to New Hampshire. UMass Lowell has been blanked in each of its
last three contests heading into Sunday.
Eight different River Hawks have scored on the season, with
Brittany Russo and Taylor Packwood being the only two to notch
multiple goals on the year.
