GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. – The 10^th-ranked Regis University women's lacrosse team met up with the 24^th-ranked Colorado Mesa University Mavericks in Grand Junction on Wednesday afternoon for a rematch of the March 11^th matchup between the two top-25 teams.
 
How It Happened: Though the location was different than the first matchup, the result was the same for Regis as they dominated from the opening whistle. As they have done for a large portion of their games this season, the Rangers got things going early and often.
 
Seniors Jessica Berg and Andrea Macalalad combined for the first goal of the game with Macalalad sending a pass to Berg for the goal. Senior Kyleigh Peoples scored her 39^th goal of the season and sophomore Bailey Truex and freshman Tia Krats added goals to put the visitors ahead 4-0. Berg capped off the 5-0 run with her second goal before the Mavericks were finally able to get past the brilliant goalkeeping of senior Elle Crawford.
 
After conceding the goal to CMU, RU countered with a 6-0 run from the 17:20 mark until Macalalad scored with 5:58 left in the first half. With a man-up advantage, the Mavericks scored with 10 seconds left in the first half which brought the score to 11-2 as the teams headed to halftime.
 
In the second half, Krats netted her second goal of the game to put Regis in front by 10, sparking another big scoring run from the Rangers, leading to an 18-2 lead with 6:22 remaining in the game. The home side managed to score back-to-back goals with 5:08 and 2:10 on the clock, but it was too late as RU had all but sealed the game. Junior Monica Looney scored the dagger as her ninth goal of the season secured to the 19-4 win over the No. 24 ranked Mavericks.   
 
Game Notes: Peoples (3 G, 3 A, 3 GB, 1 CT) recorded six points in the win to lead all players in the game. Berg single-handedly outscored CMU with five goals on the day, setting a season-high with five points in the game. She also led all players with seven ground balls, four caused turnovers and six draw controls. Macalalad (2 G, 1 A, 1 GB), Truex (3 G, 1 GB, 1 CT, 3 DC) and Krats (2 G, 1 A, 1 GB, 1 DC) each had three points apiece. Crawford (W, 11-1) picked up her eleventh win of the season, making seven saves in all 60 minutes as the netminder. Her goals against average is now below 5.00 at 4.91 for the season and her save percentage is .500.

Following the regular season finale, the top four teams in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) standings will advance to the postseason tournament.
