Regis College Opens Season with Classic Victory

Weston, Mass—It seems that hard work does pay off, and it’s paying off in the best way for the Lady Pride this season. Notching its first win Saturday against Mt. Ida College 84-66, Regis College seems to still be riding high after its 2007-08 postseason appearance.

Led by rookie Stephanie Crawford (Rockland, Mass.) with 14 points, the Lady Pride refused to give into any change of defense by the Mustangs, or even falter to Mt. Ida’s full-court press in the second half. Crawford was impressive all night.

She played with composure throughout the game, and even added another dimension that has only been seen recently by Laura Sears (Billerica, Mass.). Both guards look to penetrate, and when they do, consider it two points. Sears finished with 6 points, and dished 7 assists on the night.

This year’s team has depth, and its rookies will continue to develop as the season continues. Adding to the talented depth on the roster would be freshmen Meagan Tobin (Quincy, Mass.) with 13 points, and Stephanie Wozmack (Auburn, NH) with 8 points.

As expected, Jessica Page (Quincy, Mass.) and Kim Mariotti (Springfield, Mass.) made their presence felt adding 12 points and 11 points respectively to the Pride total. Mariotti, Page, and Sears are all on the 1,000-point watch list this season for the Lady Pride.

The Lady Pride look to add another win to its “W” column when they face neighbor Framingham State College Sun., Nov. 16 at 3 pm.
