NASHUA, N.H. – The Regis College men's lacrosse team rallied from a 2-0 first quarter deficit to take an 9-6 victory over non-conference opponent Rivier University Saturday afternoon at Raider field. The win, was the Prides' first of the season and of Head Coach Randy Frasier's Pride career, evened up their record at 1-1 and the loss dropped the hosts to 1-2.

Rivier outshot Regis by a 39-25 margin and won the turnover battle as the Pride committed 18 turnovers to the Raider's 14.

Freshman attack Colby Larsen (Windham, N.H.) and senior midfielder Kyle Graham (Londonderry, N.H.) tallied the first two goals a minute apart from each other and were both assisted by teammate Cody Lynch (Salem, N.H.). Junior attack Alex Ferran (Miami, Fla.) opened up the scoring for the Crimson and Gold with 8:39 left in the second quarter. Calvin Brault (Colchester, Vt.) followed with a gino from Ferran to knot up the score at 2-2. Cody Lynch assisted on his third score of the day when he found teammate Joe Kelland (Watertown, Mass.) to give the Raiders a 3-2 lead with 5:31 left before half.
