Strong defense leads to unstoppable offense for No. 19 Regis

DENVER, Colo. – The No. 19 ranked Regis University women's lacrosse team (6-0, 3-0 RMAC) rolled to their sixth-straight win in a 19-2 win over the Grizzlies of Adams State University (0-3, 0-1 RMAC) on Saturday afternoon.

An overall team effort that included three players scoring three goals, five dishing out two assists, and the defense holding the opponents to only four shots all game helped the home squad to another conference win.
 
How It Happened: Regis opened the game with three unanswered goals before the visitors managed their only goal of the half. With the score at 3-1 the Rangers rattled off 16 straight goals between the first half and the eight-minute mark in the second half.
 
RU had a 12-1 lead after the first 30 minutes of play with sophomore Sarah Myres leading the way with three goals in the opening period. Sophomore Grace Rosenthal had already collected two assists as well, which helped the team to their 12-goal output.
 
The second half started with much of the same, this time the home team turned up the defensive effort as they only allowed one single shot in the full 30 minutes of the second half. That shot turned out to be a goal, but it did not come until the clock read 8:42 remaining in the game.
 
Redshirt-senior Erin Todd (3 G, 1 GB, 1 CT), seniors Erin Steiner (3 G, 2 DC) and Anna Takushi (3 G, 1 A, 2 GB, 2 CT, 2 DC), and junior Rachel Walker (3 G, 2 A) each netted their third goals of the match in the second half helping to the 19-2 win.
 
Game Notes: Three players netted three goals in the game, with four others adding one goal apiece. Five players chipped in with two assists, and three had two or more caused turnovers led by junior Hailey Nyquist (3 GB, 4 CT) who had four. Junior Jada Bonner cruised her way to five draw controls as she dominated the middle and adding two assists in the game. Sophomore Wendy Donier (2 A, 6 GB, 3 CT, 1 DC) scooped up a team-leading six ground balls on a day that saw the team grab 21 ground balls.
 
Regis outshot the Grizzlies 35-4, putting 30 of their attempts on goal, and dominating the turnover battle 23-9. Surprisingly, Adams State won more draw controls than the Rangers in the second half, but RU came out on top overall 14-9 in that category.
 
Next Up for the Rangers: The No. 19 ranked women's lacrosse team will head back out on the road for a four-game road trip making visits to UC-Colorado Springs, Fort Lewis College, No. 12 Florida Institute of Technology, and Saint Leo University.
