Last Time Out
The Minutemen picked up a 2-1 road win on Saturday at Saint Joseph's in their last contest led by a pair of goals from Alec Hughes. Ben Shepherd assisted on both of Hughes' goals, sending in a free kick that connected with Hughes in the 23rd-minute before playing a ball in the offensive end to Tyler Mann, who found an open Hughes in the box for the second UMass goal.

A-10 Rookie of the Week
Freshman Hughes earned his second consecutive Atlantic 10 weekly honors as he was named the A-10 Rookie of the Week on Monday. Hughes put home two goals in a 2-1 win on the road at Saint Joseph's Saturday to give him a team-leading six goals on the season. The forward scored two in the first 32 minutes on Saturday, opening the scoring with a header in the 23rd-minute of play.
