Salve Regina (3-13-0; 1-8-0 CCC) won its last game on September 27, a 2-1 victory against the Leopards of Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, Mass. The Seahawks, who missed the postseason for the second straight year, suffered three overtime defeats during a five-game homestand in September.
