LATE SURGE LEADS CLARK OVER REGIS

WORCESTER, Mass. – Sashae Walls (Everett, Mass.) scored her third goal of the season, and Raegan Heck (Phillipston, Mass.) made 16 saves in net, but Regis College dropped a 4-1 decision to Clark University on Saturday afternoon in non-league field hockey action.

The Pride slip to 2-6 with the setback, while the Cougars improve to 6-3 overall.

The Scarlet and White jumped out to an early lead as Sarah Cramer (Wynnewood, Pa.) found Kiah Murphy (Westport, Mass.) open on a penalty corner for an early 1-0 Cougar advantage less than ten minutes into the contest.

Regis battled back and when Laurie DeMars (Maynard, Mass.) connected with Sashae Walls on a penalty corner of their own at 21:08, the game was knotted at 1-1.

Things stayed that way until early in the second half when Murphy returned the favor and Cramer notched her second goal of the season.

Ahead 2-1, the hosts got another marker, this one courtesy of Madison Boardman (Cornish, N.H.) finding Zoe LaFrance-Armstrong (Old Orchard Beach, Maine) for a 3-1 Clark lead at 59:18.

The Cougars added one final tally when Boardman played the playmaker again, this time setting up Olivia Cotton (Northampton, Mass.) for her third score of the year with less than two minutes to play.

Clark controlled the stat sheet, holding sizable advantages in both shots (20-1) and penalty corners (16-1). Raegan Heck was fantastic in between the pipes for Regis, as she turned back 16 shots.

The Pride will look to return to the win column on Wednesday when they host Rivier at 7:30 p.m.
