Paced by a game-high five points (3g, 2a) from Melynda Zwick and four goals from Kathleen Typadis, the Minutewomen led the entire game for their third consecutive win. With a 4-2 mark in A-10 play, UMass is now tied with Duquesne, who visits Amherst on Sunday, for third place in the league standings. UMass will be the host school for the league tournament with the champion automatically qualifying for the NCAA Tournament.]]></description>
