Key Games
3/26 @ NJIT: Playing as conference opponents for the first time last season, the River Hawks fell to the Highlanders 14-10 to mark their first-ever loss against NJIT. With the two expected to be in similar spots again this season, expect another close contest. UMass Lowell holds a 4-1 lead in the all-time series.
4/19 vs Holy Cross: In-state foes, UMass Lowell and Holy Cross have played twice in history (2019, 2020). During their last meeting, the Crusaders pulled out a 14-13 overtime victory. This year’s meeting marks the first between the two under the J.L. Reppert era at Holy Cross, and will be interesting to see how things play out.
4/30 @ Binghamton: The River Hawks close out the regular season on the road against the Binghamton Bearcats, whom they fell against 11-9 last season in their lone meeting. A win against the Bearcats would be big for a UMass Lowell program looking to push forward.
