NEWPORT, R.I. - A goal with seventy seconds left in the game by Salve Regina gave the Seahawks a 2-1 victory over Coast Guard in non-conference action.

With the loss the Bears fall to 6-7 on the season while Salve Regina improves to 6-8.

The majority of the first half saw a zero, zero tie until the final five minutes of the period.
The Seahawks started the scoring in 41st minute when freshman Abby McMackin scored an unassisted goal to give Salve Regina a 1-0 lead.

The Bears did not allow the Seahawks lead to last long as just over two minutes later senior Caroline Eastman took a pass from fellow senior Taylor Peace and netted her first goal of the season.

The game look destined for overtime until sophomore Leah Siefring found sophomore Lea Adams at the top of the Coast Guard penalty box. Adams ripped a shot into the left corner of the net for her second goal over the year at the 88:10 mark.

Freshman Rachel Boohar (5-7) made eight saves on 18 shots, 10 on goal. Boohar is fifth in the NEWMAC with 65 saves on the season.
