BOX SCORE

MANCHESTER, N.H. - Southern New Hampshire University and UMass Lowell played to a 1-1 double-overtime tie in Northeast-10 women's soccer Tuesday night at Larkin Field.  The Penmen are now 8-4-4 and 7-4-3 in NE-10 play, while the River Hawks are 7-4-5 and 6-3-5 in the league.  The game marked the Northeast-10 finale for both schools.

With the tie, SNHU has secured the No. 5 seed in the upcoming Northeast-10 Tournament, which starts Sunday.  The Penmen will be on the road for a quarterfinal game and will learn their opponent Wednesday when league play concludes.

SNHU got on the board just 2:21 into the contest when Sophia Saint Paul (Brockton, MA) scored her team-leading ninth goal of the season off an assist from Ariel Teixeira (Warren, RI).  The River Hawks would tie the game 2:45 before halftime when Kaitlynn McHugh recorded an unassisted tally.

UMass Lowell had the best chance to score the game-winner with just under three minutes left in the second overtime session.  UML's Maddy Bissaillon fired a shot from close range off a corner kick, but SNHU keeper Stef Young (Natick, MA) made a point-blank save to preserve the tie.

Young turned aside eight shots for the Penmen, who were outshot 23-8 on the evening.  UMass Lowell keeper Jamie Gillis stopped three shots.

SNHU closes out the regular season Friday when it hosts Adelphi University in a non-league game starting at 3:00.
