- UNH had a couple scoring chances in the first overtime period but both went high.

- UML answered back in the second overtime with two scoring chances of their own; the first was a shot ricocheting off the crossbar and finding another striker, but Andrew Pesci (Windham, N.H.) was able to make the save. But it wasn't enough as another shot by UMass Lowell's Chase Reichenberg found its way into the net for the River Hawk victory.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS:

- UMass Lowell did not register a shot in the second half.

- UNH led in shots 16-10 overall.

BEYOND THE BOXSCORE:

- The Wildcats are now 3-2-0 in road games this season.

- UNH's last game with zero goals scored was a 1-0 loss to conference foe UMBC on September 30.
