NEWPORT, R.I. (October 11, 2021) - Salve Regina University women's tennis finishes its Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) regular season and readies for the postseason play.

LET'S GO, SEAHAWKS!

TUESDAY (Oct. 12)
After a scoreless draw in Boston on Saturday, Salve Regina women's soccer (6-6-1, 2-1-1 CCC) stands behind five CCC schools who sport a 3-1-0 record in league play, and that includes the next Seahawk opponent, Endicott College, on Tuesday at 4 p.m. The Gulls have a 25-3-1 mark in the all-time series. The most recent meeting in 2019, however, was a 2-1 victory for the Seahawks on Reynolds Field. The Seahawks knotted the score at 1-1 in the 16th minute as Katie Szemreylo blasted a free kick from in front of the visitor bench to the top right corner on the far post for her second goal of the season. Freshman Meagan McLaughlin delivered the game-winner when she took a long feed from Amanda Bentz and deposited it in the upper right corner.

When they last met in the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) men's soccer championship (Nov. 9, 2019), Salve Regina celebrated its fourth conference title after Alessandro Oggiano and an own goal gave the Seahawks a 3-2 double-overtime victory against Endicott College at Toppa Field in Newport, Rhode Island. The current Seahawks (8-4-1, 3-1-0 CCC) play at the Gulls (4-5-2, 3-0-1 CCC) in Beverly, Mass., at 7 p.m. Oggiano scored three goals and assisted on two others last week. He factored in four of the five goals as the Seahawks ran their win streak to six games with a 5-0 score against Bridgewater State on Wednesday. At Wentworth, he scored his 10th of the season to tie the game in Boston on Saturday, 1-1, but the Leopards added the game-winner later in the first half.

WEDNESDAY (Oct. 13)
Salve Regina women's tennis (4-5, 2-4 CCC) took two non-league matches last week, 7-2 over UMass Dartmouth and 8-1 over University of Saint Joseph, the latter on the road in West Hartford, Conn. Sophomore Ellysa Tancrede ran her personal win streak to seven straight singles victories. The Seahawks finish their Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) regular season and ready for the postseason play. A 3:30 p.m. road match with Western New England University (2-4, 2-4 CCC), at Minnechaug High School, will determine the fifth and sixth seeds in the upcoming playoffs.

Salve Regina women's volleyball (9-6, 3-1 CCC) faces three teams away from the Rodgers Recreation Center this week after a 2-1 mark in its friendly home last week. A key matchup on Wednesday (7 p.m.) in Boston with the Leopards of Wentworth Institute of Technology (12-8, 4-1 CCC) gets the week started. On Saturday against Worcester State, Madison Lee posted a double-double with a match-high 11 kills and 10 digs. Salve Regina junior Kate Murphy led the Seahawks defense with a match-high 24 digs. Senior Nicole Karabaich notched the Seahawks second double-double with 10 kills and 10 digs.

Salve Regina men's and women's cross country runners will preview the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) championship course by racing in the Western New England Invitational (10:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m.) in Springfield, Mass.

The winning order was Cate Norton, Bre Shipman, Heather McKee, Christina Moran, Avery Braccia, Delaney Marek,  and Lindsey Sirois for the Seahawks.

Seahawk field hockey (8-4, 1-3 CCC) earned its first conference victory (4-0 at Nichols) and return to Gaudet Field after a three-game road trip. Today's non-leaguer versus Husson (12 p.m.) will also be a celebration for the eight Seahawk seniors - Hannah Bedrosian, Olivia Butler, Abby Dubuc, Sam Levey, Grace Parker, Lex Purcell, Eliza Timms, Kristen Wales. Timms continues to lead all CCC players in goals (15) and points (35). Butler ranks second in saves (58) among all conference goaltenders.
