WESTON, Mass. – Junior defender Hannah Bouvette (Mattapoisett, Mass.) scored the game-winning goal eight minutes into the second stanza as the Regis College women's soccer team defeated Mitchell College 1-0 in New England Collegiate Conference action on a chilly fall Saturday afternoon. The victory, the Pride's third straight, moves the squads record to 4-5-1, 2-0-0 NECC and the loss was the Mariners third in a row dropped them to 1-4-2, 0-2-0 NECC.

Sophomore forward Tais Salles (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) found Hanna Bouvette inside the box and put a pass right on her teammates foot. Bouvette chipped the ball past Mitchell goalie Katie McBride (Birmingham, England) for the lone goal of the contest.

The Crimson and Gold had a chance to add an insurance goal during the 71st minute as Salles laid a perfect through-ball to senior forward Kristen Abreu (Woburn, Mass.). Abreu streaked down the center of the pitch as McBride came out of the net to aggressively play the ball. McBride thwarted the Pride scoring chance as she made a successful sliding save before Abreu could have an opportunity to take a shot.

Mitchell had two chances to net the equalizer in the final 18 minutes of the contest. The first came in the 72nd minute as senior midfielder Alexandra Mahar (Watertown, Conn.) caused a turnover in the circle at midfield, ran down the middle of the pitch and rifled a shot from 30 yards out that Pride goaltender Rachel Gagnon (Ashford, Conn.) corralled easily.

The final opportunity for the Mariners came with :56 seconds left as senior forward Taylor Silva (Hartford, Conn.) received a cross from a teammate inside the left side of the box and put a chip shot on net that Gagnon bobbled, but secured the rock and cleared the threat out of danger as the Pride ran out the clock.

Rachel Gagnon earned her second shutout victory of the season while improving to 4-5-1 as the Pride starting goaltender made four saves during the victory. Katie McBride made seven saves during the loss while dropping her fourth decision of the year.

Regis remains at home in Weston for their final non-conference date of the season as they host Emerson on Tuesday, October 6th at 6:30 p.m. The Mariners return home to welcome Johnson State on campus on Wednesday, October 7th at 1:00 p.m.
