Feb. 3, 2010 The UMass Lowell women's and men's basketball teams, fresh off victories at Southern Connecticut over the weekend, host Saint Michael's College tonight in a pair of Northeast-10 Conference clashes at the Costello Atheltic Center (5:30/7:30). River Hawk fans are encouraged to wear white to tonight's double-header and Saturday's hockey match against defending National Champion Boston University as part of the White-Out Week promotion. Fans that sport their white gear will be entered in special contests and have chances to win cash and other prizes. Live video/audio and stats are available at the below links. Pat Riley will provide the play-by-play while Lynn Worthy, UMass Lowell/Boston Celtics beat writer for The Sun, will provide the analysis. Women's Live Stats The UMass Lowell women look to avenge a 60-59 loss to Saint Michael's in the season-opener Nov. 18 in Colchester, VT. A victory would also go a step further in slidifying home court advantage for the first round of the NE-10 Tournament. Additionally, Head Coach Kathy O'Neil, with 398 career victories, looks for No. 399 against her alma mater. She earned No. 398 Saturday as five players - led by 15 points from Jen Valente - scored in double digits to turn back Southern Connecticut in overtime, 72-66, in New Haven, CT. On the men's side, UMass Lowell goes for its first sweep of the season as it defeated the Purple Knights on Nov. 18, 67-52, behind 19 points from Kyle Caiola. The River Hawks are fresh off a 73-54 win at Southern Connecticut Saturday behind 18 points from Caiola. UMass Lowell returns home Saturday - in celebration of Women's Basketball Alumni Day as well as Head Coach Kathy O'Neil's 25th season - to host Stonehill College (women 1:00, men 4:30). |
