Inside Scoop
• Williams got the Raiders on the board in the 29th minute, giving them a 1-0 edge heading into halftime

• The play originated after Raepple sent a pass across the face of the goal finding the foot of Brawner on the back post. The senior co-captain then one-touched it back toward the center of the field, where Williams was able to finish it into the lower right-hand corner of the net.

• Goal number two came after Coy single-handedly beat two River Hawk defenders inside the box.

• The sophomore fought to keep possession of the ball despite having two UMass. Lowell defenders on her. Once she was at the endline, she slotted the ball to Crichlow, who collected it and finished the play into the lower left side of the goal.

Straight From The Source
Head Coach Kathy Brawn on Sunday's Match
• "We come away from the weekend 2-0 which is terrific. There were times where we moved the ball very well but we needed to be a little more discipline about some things.
 
"UMass. Lowell came out with a great game plan with terrific energy and it took us a little while to break some of that down. To find a way to win, though, is always a good thing so we'll take that and build upon it."
 
Brawn on Welcoming Nearby Rival Syracuse on Thursday
• "We are two programs that are very familiar with each other. Obviously Syracuse is an outstanding team. We will look for some of the match ups we want to focus on and we've got some things that we think we can do that will be successful. Hopefully that's how the game plays out but we know that both teams are going to be eager and ready for it."
