MEN’S SOCCER: UMASS LOWELL DEALS LE MOYNE SECOND CONSECUTIVE SETBACK

LOWELL, Mass. - Michael Galvin and Andrew Doherty scored goals in the second half to lead UMass Lowell to a 2-1 Northeast-10 Conference men’s soccer victory over Le Moyne. The Dolphins (7-3-2, 5-3-1 Northeast-10) have dropped back-to-back road contests.

After a scoreless opening half, Galvin headed home a cross from Christian Figueroa to put the River Hawks (8-3-1, 6-2 Northeast-10) on the board six minutes and 32 seconds into the second half. Galvin slid a shot inside the near post to make it 2-0 in the 68th minute.

Le Moyne cut its deficit in half in the 77th minute. Sophomore midfielder Eric Macias (Silver Spring, Md./Wheaton) punched in a rebound for his team-high sixth goal of the season.

Senior goalkeeper Tim Mann (Silver Spring, Md./Paint Branch) made three saves for Le Moyne. It marked just the second match this season (and second consecutive) in which the Dolphins have allowed two or more goals this season.

Le Moyne returns to action in another rescheduled game tomorrow at Stonehill. The match is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m.
