Second-half surge lifts No. 5 Rangers to 17-5 victory against UCCS

DENVER, Colo. — The No. 5 Regis University women's lacrosse team began its second trip through the RMAC schedule on Tuesday, shaking off a slow start to run away with a 17-5 home victory against the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs on a chilly evening in Denver.

Regis (13-0 overall, 8-0 RMAC) notched its second victory of the season and eighth straight against the Mountain Lions (8-5 overall, 5-3 RMAC), who fell by an 18-4 final to Regis the first time the two teams met back on Feb. 21 in Colorado Springs.

"UCCS made some nice adjustments from the first time we saw them this year, compacting their defense and making it hard on our shooters in that first half," said Regis head women's lacrosse coach, Sarah Kellner. "But I was pleased with our performance start to finish. We talked at half that there was nothing we were doing wrong, but just some things we needed to clean up and do a little better in the second half."

HOW IT HAPPENED: UCCS hung tough with the Rangers early on, limiting the high-powered Regis offense to just six goals in the first half to make it a tight 6-3 match at the break.

Graduate student attacker Hannah Krats helped keep the Rangers out front as she scored four of her career-high seven goals in the first half, including all three goals of the first quarter.

Krats would finish the evening with seven goals on nine shot attempts, eight total points and three ground balls.

"I think a lot of the (defense's) attention early on was on Kyleigh and Alexis, which opened up opportunities for other people and Hannah just did an amazing job," Kellner said. "Her footwork was on another level today and her teammates did a great job of moving away to give her that space to dodge and do what she does very well."

Regis would extend its lead to 10-5 after the third quarter before opening the floodgates in the fourth with seven unanswered goals over the final 15 minutes.

Junior midfielder Bailey Truex netted three goals on just three shot attempts, while graduate student Kyleigh Peoples and sophomoreTia Krats each added two goals apiece to round out the four Rangers with multi-goal games.

Peoples would add a team-high three assists, as well, to cap a five-point performance for the defending RMAC Attacker of the Year.

Senior attacker Camille Watling, sophomore midfielder Lily Ferguson and senior Alexis Parker, the reigning RMAC Offensive Player of the Week, each added one goal apiece on Tuesday, as well.

In net, true freshman Brigit Goetsch earned her seventh win of the season as she made three first-half saves before giving way to sophomore Elizabeth Myotte, who stopped four of the six shots she faced over the final two quarters.

GAME NOTES: The Rangers finished the evening with a dominating 46-17 advantage in shot attempts and 33-13 advantage in shots on goal.

Regis also controlled the ground ball category (25-10) and draw controls (19-7), led by Ferguson's game-high nine draw controls.

Senior attacker Gabby Rothermund and Truex added five draw controls and four draw controls, respectively.

"The clean draw controls and clean ground balls, the execution of that skill, was the best I've seen from us all year," Kellner said. "We kind of struggled with it in the past and it's been something we've really focused on with changes surfaces (grass to turf) this week and all season."

UP NEXT: The Rangers head back on the road this Saturday for a 12 p.m. clash against Colorado State University Pueblo. Regis defeated the ThunderWolves, 20-2, in the first meeting between the two foes in Denver back on March 16.
