Seahawks clinch No. 2 Seed in NEWMAC postseason

Salve Regina concludes regular season with 1-1 draw at Wheaton

NORTON, Mass.

With the draw, the Seahawks (10-3-5, 7-2-2 NEWMAC) and Lyons (10-4-3, 7-2-2 NEWMAC) also finish in a three-way tie for second place in the league standings with Salve Regina taking the No. 2 Seed by virtue of its 1-0-1 mark in the head-to-head grouping with the tied teams while Wheaton earns the No. 3 Seed with ties against the Engineers and Seahawks.

After Karina Contreras (Pawtucket, R.I.) broke a scoreless tie less than a minute into the second half, Salve Regina got the equalizer from freshman Tori Spadavecchia (Monmouth Beach, N.J.) in the 64th minute with assists from Carah Leclair (Bellingham, Mass.) and Sienna Mastroianni (Whitinsville, Mass.).

Senior goalkeeper Sabrina Lawless (Milford, Conn.) made four saves on five shots faced for the Seahawks. Sophomore goalkeeper Olivia King (Simsbury, Conn.) made six saves throughout an 87-minute effort after senior Mikaela Reynolds (Longmeadow, Mass.) got the start between the posts.
