SUMMARY
NOTEWORTHY
- Salve Regina had the overall shot advantage (nearly twice as many, 23-to-12), but the teams were even in shots on goal (four each).
- Salve Regina, currently with five points in the conference standings, needs a win in its final regular-season game (Sat. versus WPI, 6 p.m. at Toppa Field) and either losses or ties by Springfield and Emerson in their respective final contests to secure a spot in the NEWMAC postseason.
- Clark has completed its regular season and needs the same losses for Springfield and Emerson plus a WPI victory or draw.
- WPI currently stands in fifth place (top six make the postseason) with eight points. A Seahawk victory Saturday would equal that point total and give Salve Regina the spot over WPI with the head-to-head outcome.
ON THE HORIZON
Salve Regina closes out its regular season with a home game against the Engineers of WPI on Saturday in Newport, R.I., with a 6 p.m. broadcast on
FloCollege.
