    Sophomore Gaby Eckroth (Mechanicsburg, Pa.) scored the lone goal, marking her third straight game with a goal, as the UMass Lowell women’s soccer team secured their first America East victory after coming out on top over UMBC, 1-0, on Sunday afternoon in Baltimore, Md.

    The River Hawks (4-3-3, 1-0-1) had a 17-11 advantage in shots taken, while both sides took four corners. Redshirt freshman Nina Hertz-Saebbö (Gothenburg, Sweden) assisted on Eckroth’s goal. Sophomore Rachel Welch (Franklin) started in net for the eighth time, making two saves for the clean sheet.

    “To come here and get three points, we are very happy with that,” said UML head coach Mira Novak. “Really tough game, and I think all these games early are going to be tight. I think today was no exception against a strong UMBC team that’s had a strong season so far. We knew that would be a long game that we would have to win over 90 minutes, and that first goal would be really important.”

    [ad_1]

    Sophomore Karlijn Kerkhof (Rotterdam, Netherlands) scored two goals, including the game winner in the 62nd minute, to propel the UMass Lowell field hockey team to a 3-2 overtime victory against Kent State on Alumni Day on Sunday at Wicked Blue Field in Lowell.

    “I couldn’t be more proud of our performance today,” said UML head coach Shannon LeBlanc. “Going down twice and tying it up, and then winning in overtime, it just speaks to the grit, the resilience, and the commitment to our philosophy of staying in every game and making sure we make the most of every opportunity. I just couldn’t be happier with this performance in front of so many of our alums and special supports of this program, it was just amazing.”

    After forcing a pair of stalemates during the game, the River Hawks (4-4) fended off a late attack by the Golden Flashes to force overtime. Less than two minutes into the extra period, junior Florine Gerrits (Amstelveen, Netherlands) collected the ball near the UMass Lowell offensive end line and stay composed in the midst of a crowd of defenders, able to push a pass back to the middle of the circle where a waiting Kerkhof settled it and fired hard to the far corner for the win.

    Junior Alex Champagne (Pembroke Pines, Fla.) scored his first goal as a River Hawk, but UMass Lowell fell to the Brown Bears, 4-1, on Saturday night in Providence, R.I.

    “Congrats to Brown,” said UML head coach Kyle Zenoni. “I thought it was a very good game for about 60 minutes and then we had some pretty big mistakes and they punished us. That is a good team and you can’t afford to lose focus in key moments of the game. I thought we had some very good moments in the game and many positives.”

    Champagne also led the team (4-3-1) with three shots and two on target, while junior Ethan Agyare-Danso (Etobiocoke, Canada) recorded an assist for his first point as a River Hawk.

    Senior Madison Leeper (East Amherst, N.Y.) added one goal in the contest for UML (1-2), while sophomore Alice Van Hemelen (Tervuren, Belgium) and freshmen Rena Pistilli (Lambaré, Paraguay) and Holly Beckinsale (Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland) chipped in with one assist apiece.
