WEEK 4 HONOR ROLL

Five minutes before the conclusion of the first half, the Burrillvile, R.I. native scored the third Wildcat goal to give JWU the 3-1 advantage. Coming out of the intermission, Patriarcha knocked home her third goal in the 51st minute.

Kaylee Francis, Regis (Mass.) (So., F - Millis, Mass.) - Francis played a role in all three goals as Regis defeated RIC last Tuesday.
