Women's Game Notes

With a victory (and an Assumption loss at Southern Connecticut), the UMass Lowell women will secure the No. 6 seed for the Tournament, but can do no worse than the No. 7 seed, and will host an opponent to be determined in the first round Saturday at 1:00.

The River Hawks are fresh off a 58-54 loss at Saint Anselm Saturday despite 15 points from senior Amanda McGrew. Franklin Pierce (24-1, 20-1 in the NE-10), which clinched the NE-10 championship, is currently No. 2 in the latest WBCA Division II poll, and defeated Bentley, 77-73, Saturday.

The UMass Lowell enter tonight's game with a chance to be seeded as high as fifth and no lower than seventh for the tournament, contingent upon results from Le Moyne, Saint Rose and Saint Anselm, and will host a first round opponent to be determined Sunday at 1:00.

The River Hawks look to rebound from a 101-70 loss at Saint Anselm Saturday while the Ravens are on a high following a 72-70 win at Bentley.
