Mixed Results for UML, Bentley

NE-10 Rivals Exchange Shutouts

October 6, 2009

The UMass-Lowell and Bentley soccer teams underwent a home-and-home battle with much different results.

At the Waltham campus of Bentley the home men’s soccer team rolled over UMass-Lowell, 5-0, the back of an Eric Heuze hat trick. Meanwhile, at the UML campus, the River Hawks used three different goal scorers to shutout Bentley, 3-0.

In the men’s game, Heuze’s hat trick was supplemented by goals from freshman Weston Zeiner to improve Bentley to 5-5-1 overall and 5-1-1 in the Northeast-10. The River Hawks have dropped five straight and fall to 3-7-0 overall and 2-6-0 in conference play.

The five goals are the most scored by a Bentley team since a six goal performance against New Haven on Oct. 11, 2008.

In the women’s contest, sophomore midfielder Maddy Bissaillon led the way with a goal and an assist for the River Hawks, who have won four straight matches and are unbeaten in their last 10.

Sophomore Kaitlyn McHugh got the scoring started for UMass-Lowell in the 28th minute. McHugh took a cross from junior Brianne Bozzella in the crease and knocked the ball in on the near post. Bissaillon made the score 2-0 for the River Hawks just 1:04 before halftime and senior Kelly Soper finished the scoring in the 52nd minute on an assist from Bissaillon.

The loss drops Bentley’s record to 4-6-1 overall and 2-6-1 in the NE-10, while UMass-Lowell improves to 9-2-2 overall and 8-1-1 in conference play.
