Haley Connaughton, Stephanie Crokeand Emma Dotsikas scored four goals apiece in the first half alone to set the tone for the No. 19 UMass women's lacrosse team (2-1), who bolted out to an early lead and never looked back in a 21-8 victory over UMass Lowell (1-3) on Monday afternoon at Cushing Field.

Connaughton led the way with eight points (four goals, four assists) on the afternoon, closely followed by Dotsikas (four goals, three assists) and Croke. Brinley Anderson, Andrea Meincke and Julia Smith added two goals each.

Lauren Hiller made five saves for the Minutewomen in her third start of the season before giving way to Gina Carroll(three saves) early in the second half, while Caitlyn Petro (nine) and Amy Moreau (six) paced Massachusetts on the draw throughout the game.

UMass tops No. 5 Boston College for highest win in program history

The win was UMass' first over a top-five team in the history of the program, and the first victory against a ranked opponent since beating No. 10 Colorado in the first round of the 2017 NCAA Tournament.

UMass picked second in A-10 Preseason Poll
Richmond, the defending conference champion, was picked to win the league with six first-place votes, followed closely by the Minutewomen in second with four first-place votes.
