The River Hawks JAMIE GILLIS (North Billerica, MA/North Billerica)---has allowed just four goals all season and lowered her Northeast-10 Conference leading goals-against average to 0.41. This was her fifth shutout of the season.
Massachusetts Lowell nearly went ahead in the eighth minute when senior forward TRICIA AULD (Waltham, MA/Waltham) sent a blast from the right side of the goal box which Matysiak tipped over the crossbar. Senior forward KRISTIN MAHONEY (Newburyport, MA/Newburyport) had an opportunity in the 53rd minute when her attempt from the top of the box soared just outside the right post.
The best chance of the night belong to the Greyhounds in the 82nd minute as senior forward HOLLY MC GRATH (Naugatuck, CT/Naugatuck) broke through the River Hawks defense and uncorked a shot which Gillis tipped off the crossbar and gathered before any rebound.
