NEWPORT, R.I. (October 28, 2026) -- Salve Regina University women's soccer, ranked No. 6 in the NCAA Region II poll, defeated Clark University, 3-1, in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) action on Wednesday afternoon at Reynolds Field.

The Seahawks (10-3-4, 7-2-1 NEWMAC) got on the board first on a corner kick from senior captain Allie Gallagher (Staten Island, N.Y.) into the far upper post. The teams were tied at halftime when Kory Loyd (Jamestown, N.C.) converted a penalty kick for the Cougars (8-5-3, 3-4-3 NEWMAC) with 14 seconds remaining. Salve Regina had a 5-0 edge in corner kicks in the first 45 minutes; both the Cougars and Seahawks had one corner kick each in the second half.

Senior Olivia Tacconi (Waldwick, N.J.) stuffed the net with her third goal of the season seven minutes into the second half to regain the lead for Salve Regina.
