RAPTORS CLAW PAST PRIDE, 14-3

KINGSTON, N.Y. – The Regis College women's lacrosse team fell to 1-1 on the season after a 14-3 non-conference loss at Bard College on Saturday afternoon.

For the second straight game, Bard scored in the first minute. This time it was on a goal by sophomore Stephanie LaMont (Skippack, Pa.), but Regis responded with a pair of goals 72 seconds apart by freshmen Adena Joseph (Stoughton, Mass.) and Grace Politis (Billerica, Mass.), and it was 2-1 in favor of Regis after five minutes.

Bard (2-0) was up, 4-2, when Joseph scored another unassisted goal midway through the first half to cut the deficit to one, but the Raptors scored four times before the half and led 8-3 at the break.

Regis managed just four shots on goal in the second half and didn't score. Freshman Liz Belinsky (Wayland, Mass.) led the Pride with four ground balls. Junior goalkeeper Meghan Ryan (Stow, Mass.) made three saves, and freshman goalkeeper Katie Haidemenos (Warwick, R.I.) made four saves.

Regis' next game is on Tuesday at Emmanuel College at 7 p.m.

Bard got six goals from LaMont, three goals from senior Farah Akhtar (Karachi, Pakistan), two goals apiece from freshmen Joanna Regan (Selden, N.Y.) and Reed Mango (Pittsburgh, PA), and one goal and five assists from sophomore Brianna Bean (Kaneohe, Hawaii).
