BRISTOL, R.I. – The Salve Regina University field hockey team defeated Roger Williams University, 2-0, in Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) action Tuesday evening.
Salve Regina stayed aggressive on the offensive end early on, outshooting the Hawks 8-0 over the first 10 minutes of play. The Seahawks maintained possession in their half of the field throughout most of the period.
The Hawk defense was able to keep the Seahawks off the scoreboard until the 21st minute. Lindsey Venuto (Foxboro, Mass.) put up a shot from the left side, but had it kicked away by Hawk keeper Melora Lavoie (Poland, Maine). However, Brooke Tolley (Brookside, N.J.) found the loose ball and hooked it into the right corner for her third goal of the season.
Shortly into the second half, Salve Regina added to its lead. Three minutes into the period, Erin Gendreau (Sandwich, Mass.) found Abigail Tepper (Foxboro, Mass.) right in front of the goal. Tepper knocked her shot to the right side, just past Lavoie to put Salve Regina up 2-0.
McCann had five saves for Salve Regina in the shutout, while Lavoie made seven stops in the loss.
Roger Williams (6-6, 3-3 CCC) will be off for the rest of the week, with the team hosting Lasell next Wednesday at 4 p.m. Salve Regina (8-3, 2-3 CCC) welcomes Nichols to Middletown on Saturday at 6 p.m.
