BOSTON – Regis College was held scoreless by Emerson College as the Lions scored three times in the first half, defeating the Pride 5-0 in a non-conference women's collegiate soccer contest at Rotch Field Thursday night.

Alianna West-Rodrigues would cap off the scoring for the night, finding the net with under five minutes remaining, assisted by Katie Wojcik.
Cristina Nazario (Isla Verde, Puerto Rico) and Cassidy Van Cott (Santa Monica, Calif.) split time in net for the Pride with Nazario making five saves in the first half while Van Cott stopped four in the second.
