WESTON, Mass. – Alex Ferran (Miami, Fla.) scored three goals and tallied an assist but it came in a losing effort as the Regis (Mass.) men's lacrosse team dropped its second straight overtime defeat, 9-8 to Rivier Wednesday at Regis Stadium.

Regis (1-6, 0-0 NECC) held a 7-5 advantage through three quarters but was unable to hold the lead, falling behind by a goal midway through the final quarter.

Sean Brady (Tewksbury, Mass.) scored the sudden victory goal with 1:58 to play in overtime to lift the Raiders (4-3, 0-0 GNAC) to the win, fielding a pass from Nick Wolfrom (Pelham, N.H.) and firing a shot past Pride goalie D.J. Barrile (Medford, Mass.). Barille had a solid outing making 13 saves on 47 Rivier shots.

Brady finished the game with three goals and two assists for a game-high eight points. Joe Kelland (Watertown, Mass.) added a pair of goals and an assist.
