- Lowell had the first chance in the second half on a direct kick from 25 yards out. Ivan Abramovic's direct kick flew over the center of the BC wall and over the crossbar in the 65th minute. Abramovic had another chance from 19 yards out in the center of the field on a set piece, and his shot sailed high.
