UMass Lowell vs New Hampshire Prediction
UMass Lowell is having scoring issues during this three-game losing streak, and it led to a horrible loss to NJIT. I doubt things improve on the road, where UMass Lowell has lost 10 times. New Hampshire has seen 6 of its 7 wins come at home this season and is riding a three-game winning streak, which includes a road upset over Maine. These are two teams heading in different directions. I’ll side with New Hampshire and whatever the line is.
