LOWELL, Mass. –
Senior Taylor Kloss (Georgetown, MA) registered her second
multi-goal game of the year, netting two to lead the UMass Lowell River
Hawks past visiting Saint Michael’s 2-1 this afternoon at Cushing Field.
The River Hawks extended their winning streak to eight games and raised
their overall record to 10-2 (9-1 Northeast-10). Saint
Michael’s dropped to 7-5 on the year (7-3 Northeast-10).
Kloss
opened the scoring in the 29th minute when she tapped in a
Missy Seeley (East
Hampstead, NH)
pass from the left side of the net to give UML a 1-0 lead at the end of
the first half.
Kloss
struck again in the 63rd minute to extend the River Hawk
advantage to 2-0. Senior F Courtney Hill (Newburyport,
MA)
started the play with a shot from the top of the circle, which Kloss
redirected through traffic and into the back of the net.
The Purple
Knights’ Chelsea Kimball (North
Berwick,
ME)
answered three minutes later to cut the UML lead in half 2-1. Kimball was
alone in front of the net with time to shoot and aimed the ball inside the
far left post past River Hawk goalkeeper Nicole
Staiti (Barre,
MA).
Kimball’s goal was the first given up by Staiti in the last 206 minutes of
play, a streak extending back two games.
Staiti made
four saves to earn the win, while Tina Nardi (Rupert,
VT)
stopped four shots in net for Saint Michael’s. Penalty corners were even,
with both teams taking eight.
The River
Hawks travel to Franklin Pierce for a rare non-conference match against
the Northeast-10 rival Ravens at
6:00
Wednesday.
