Northeastern at Massachusetts-Lowell
LOWELL, Mass. (Interstat) — Two teams looking to build on their first winning momentum of the young season will meet Tuesday when the Northeastern Huskies visit the Massachusetts-Lowell River Hawks in a non-conference women’s basketball game.
Both teams enter the contest at the Costello Athletic Center with 2-win records. Northeastern (2-4) snapped a three-game losing streak with a 68-60 home victory over Sacred Heart on Saturday. The Huskies were led by Camryn Collins, who scored 19 points, and Alyssa Staten, who pulled down 10 rebounds.
The River Hawks (2-3) are coming off a narrow 50-47 road loss to Boston University on the same day. In that game, Sabrina Larsson paced Massachusetts-Lowell with 19 points and seven rebounds.
The Huskies’ season has been marked by offensive struggles, having been held under 50 points in two of their four losses. The River Hawks have also faced challenges against stronger competition, falling by 32 points to Massachusetts and 29 to Boston College in their last four outings.
Tuesday’s matchup offers both squads an opportunity to get back to the .500 mark before the schedule intensifies later in the week.
