RAMONAS POST CAREER-HIGH IN REGIS COLLEGE VICTORY OVER LIONS

WESTON, Mass.—Freshman Claire Ramonas (Portland, Maine/Deering) had a career-high 21 points while leading Regis College to a 65-51 win over conference foe Eastern Nazarene College Saturday.

Regis College found itself on the beneficial end of Eastern Nazarene committing 23 fouls in the game. The Pride made 12-of-31 in free throws, 38.7 percent, with Crawford taking a majority of the shots.

Regis College had just 10 turnovers, 13 fewer than the Lions, an important stat line to note in Regis’ win.
