LAST TIME OUT
Lancer sophomore Talia Borci scored two goals in a span of 5:08 in the waning minutes of the second half, leading the Worcester State University women's soccer team to a 2-0 win over Salve Regina in non-conference action Thursday evening at Coughlin Field.
"It was a great game with many opportunities for our side," said fourth-year head coach Jane Walsh. "Two of our players had re-directs where just a light touch puts the ball in the net, but both were excited and lifted over."
