LOWELL, MASS.— The men's basketball traveled to America East favorite UMass Lowell on Tuesday night.
The Sharks were in it early, making the River Hawks earn every bucket and led mid way through the first half. Unfortunately for LIU, a scoring drought late in the half would give UMass Lowell the lead and it never lost it again and the Sharks fell 78-63.
