WESTON, Mass. – The New England College women's basketball team won their third Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) game in their last four tries with a 58-52 victory at Regis College on Tuesday evening at Higgins Court in Weston, Massachusetts.

THE BASICS
Score:                    New England College 58, Regis 52
Records:               Pilgrims 10-10, 5-4 GNAC | Pride 6-14, 4-5 GNAC

TURNING POINTS

• Trailing for most of the game, the Pride pulled to within five off a layup from Regis sophomore forward Madi Zancan (Cumberland, R.I.) with thirty seconds left and the score 56-51. But the 'Grims went two-for-four from the line in the closing seconds, which proved to be enough to ice it.
