Sophomore Bryan Hogan headed in a goal from freshman midfielder Ben Arikian early in the second half to give UMass a 1-0 lead. Only three minutes later NU goalkeeper Mahmoud Talaat saved a shot attempt by senior defender Kenny Cook, only to have junior midfielder Mike DeSantis put in the rebound to make it a 2-0 lead.
