River Hawks vs Highlanders Final Prediction
The River Hawks should blow the Highlanders away in this one. When the table-toppers take on the rock-bottom side, it never goes well for the latter and that’s clearly the case here as well.
The River Hawks have only lost two games all season long. Coulibaly has been very solid this season and is coming off a brilliant 21 point performance. UMass Lowell should win.
River Hawks: -10 (-110)
