PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Graduate student Megan Salsinha scored twice for the JWU (Providence) field hockey team in a 5-0 win over Regis (MA) on Senior Day Saturday afternoon in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) action at the Scotts Miracle-Gro Athletic Complex.

Junior Zofia Bangs added a goal and an assist as the Wildcats (14-3, 11-0 GNAC) secured the No. 1 seed in the conference playoffs for the third-consecutive season. Senior Izzy Ward and Haley Budenas – who were honored prior to the contest, along with classmates Madison Young and Darian Shepherd – each picked up second-half tallies; Shepherd, meanwhile, notched an assist on Bangs marker.

Salsinha opened the scoring late in the first quarter on a shot from just inside the circle. The Wildcats then blew the game open in the third, scoring three times in a span of 4:47 – including twice in 1:07. Ward knocked in a shot that went wide off the stick of Bangs to double the JWU lead before Bangs converted a pass from Shepherd into her 12th goal of the season.

Later, Salsinha finished off a perfectly executed penalty corner at 39:24 with assists going to sophomore Elaine Fseisi and Budenas to make it 4-0. Budenas capped the scoring with a penalty stroke tally with less than one minute remaining in regulation.

Sophomore Sophia Brea was credited with two saves as the home team outshot the Pride 34-2 and held a 19-1 advantage in penalty corners.
