PRIDE WRAP UP PLAYOFF SPOT WITH WIN ON SENIOR NIGHT

WESTON, Mass. – Seven different players registered at least one point as the Regis College field hockey team wrapped up its second-straight New England Collegiate Conference postseason berth with a 7-0 victory over Daniel Webster College on Thursday night.

Regis wraps up its regular season at 4-13 overall and 3-2 in the NECC and awaits word on their postseason opponent following Saturday's other NECC games. Daniel Webster ends its season at 0-12 and 0-5 in league games.

In a pregame ceremony, the Pride honored their five seniors in Becka Sarson (York, Maine), Sashae Walls (Everett, Mass.), Yasmine Akib (Everett, Mass.), Taylor Johnson (Andover, Mass.), and Genesiz Gudiel (Lawrence, Mass.).

Jenna Casello (Southborough, Mass.) got the scoring started for the Pride in the opening minutes of the game as she received a pass from Walls on a penalty corner and blasted the ball into the back of the net for her first goal of the season. Sashae Walls entered the scoring column seven minutes later as she tipped home a blast from Sam Anderson (Sandwich, Mass.) to put Regis on top 2-0.

Anderson grabbed her second assist of the day with a pass on the goal line that was slammed home by Kelsey Morton (South Portland, Maine). Walls rounded out the scoring in the half as she scored on a rebound from a Taylor Johnson shot.

The Pride would tack on three more in the second half as Laurie DeMars (Maynard, Mass.) scored on her own rebound in the opening minute of the period. Morton tallied her second of the game on a pass from Ashley Ryan (Mashpee, Mass.), and Taylor Johnson scored her first career goal in the 56th minute to give the game its final score of 7-0.
