COACH'S QUOTE
 "The way the game ended was unfortunate with conceding in the final minutes on the heels of our own opportunity to score in the moments prior, which is so common in our sport," said Head Coach Kristi Huizenga. "I thought we were pretty organized and stubborn defensively which was a focus given the volume of the two-game week. We have to put ourselves in a great position overall and will be ready to go next Sunday."

HOW IT HAPPENED

• In the 14th minute, Aubrey Bough found a good look inside the box. Although her shot was blocked by a UMass Lowell defender, Bough quickly regained possession, but the keeper was ready and made the save.
• Minutes later, Sydney Remington ripped a shot from beyond the box. The UMass Lowell goalkeeper got a hand on it, deflecting the ball onto the crossbar before grabbing it to secure the save.
• At halftime, the game remained scoreless at 0-0, with UMass Lowell leading shots on goal three to one.
• In the 47th minute, a UMass Lowell attacker found herself one-on-one with the goalkeeper inside the box, but Kylee Carafoli moved to block the shot and made the save.
• In the 63rd minute, Sydney Remington controlled the ball beyond the box, drove right, and fired a deep shot. The UMass Lowell goalkeeper tipped it, sending the ball onto the crossbar, then managed to corral it.
• In the 72nd minute, UMass Lowell's Hillary Jaen received a yellow card.
• Minutes later, Madeline Gardner darted into space at the edge of the box and ripped a low, powerful shot. The UMass Lowell goalkeeper reacted quickly, diving to her left to smother the ball.
