NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. – With four competitive non-conference games in the books, the Merrimack College women's soccer program shifts its attention to its first-ever Northeast Conference (NEC) game when the Warriors visit Bryant University on Monday night. Kickoff at the Bulldogs' Beirne Stadium is set for 7 p.m.
