Top Five Flashback: Women's Lacrosse #3
NEWPORT, R.I. - Salve Regina University athletics resumes its summer series with a daily flashback to the top five moments of 2016-17 for each of its 19 varsity sports. Beginning with Memorial Day (Monday, May 29, 2017) and finishing with the final day of August, 95 moments (19 x 5) will be shared to relive the most exciting happenings of the most recent Seahawk season.
Not since 2002 (Gordon College) and 1998 (Western New England) had the Salve Regina University women's lacrosse team defeated their longtime Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) foes. In 2016, the Seahawks accomplished that in one season.
The 14-9 win over the Scots started a four-game win streak while the 9-8 victory over the Golden Bears clinched a home field postseason contest for the Seahawks. Both triumphs came on the road.
