BRIGHTON, Mass. – The Regis College field hockey team traveled to Daly Field on Tuesday evening for a Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) matchup with Simmons University, where the Sharks came away with a 3-1 win over the Pride. The loss moves Regis to 1-4 in league play.

Simmons was led by Penelope Long, who netted two goals, while Nora Desrosiers added another. In goal, Haley Brightmade one save to secure the victory for the Sharks.

Ten minutes later, Long struck again, this time finishing a feed from Avery Allaire to double the Sharks' advantage. Martone stood tall in net with a pair of key stops late in the frame to keep the Pride within striking distance, heading into halftime down 2-0.
Five minutes into the third, Allie Colburn (Rockland, Maine) tested Simmons goalkeeper Haley Bright, but Bright was equal to the chance. The Sharks extended their lead in the 43rd minute before Regis answered back, as Tolman converted off a setup from Miele-DeFelice to cut the deficit to 3-1.
Martone continued to shine in the cage, adding four more saves in the fourth quarter, but Simmons held strong to secure the 3-1 victory.
