THE SERIES

• Bryant is 3-1 all-time against UMBC.
• The Bulldogs and Retrievers met twice in 2025. UMBC earned a 17-9 victory in the regular season, while Bryant exacted revenge with a 12-9 victory in the America East Semifinals.
• In the semifinals, UMBC built a 7-3 lead at the break but the Bulldogs outscored UMBC 9-2 in the final 30 minutes to advance to the championship round.
• Gabriella Constant scored the game-tying and game-winning goals, while Riley O'Mara tacked on two late insurance goals.

AMERICA EAST PLAYOFF PICTURE

• This weekend's matchups include Bryant hosting UMBC, Vermont hosting UAlbany and New Hampshire hosting UMass Lowell.
• Bryant can clinch a postseason berth with a victory. The Bulldogs are also still in play for the No. 1 seed and hosting rights based off the possibility of a three-way tie.
• That possibility can only occur if Vermont is able to defeat undefeated UAlbany on Saturday. A UAlbany win would secure the regular season title and hosting rights for the Great Danes.

NOTES AND NOTABLES

• Bryant enters Saturday with a 8-6 overall record and a 3-1 record in America East.
