BUZZARDS BAY, Mass – Coming off a loss to open the season, the Bucs played host to Regis College in non-conference action on Saturday evening on Taylor's Point.

Then, in the 83^rd minute, Regis netted a goal to take a late lead and eventually the game, 1-0.

How It Happened

The first half was pretty standard as both teams attempted to find a way through each other's defense with little to no avail. Regis held the advantage in shots in the first half, getting off four shots to the Buccaneers one, though only the Maritime shot was on target. Each team had a corner kick in the first half of play with nothing coming of those either. After 45 minutes of play, the teams were knotted at 0-0.

The second half saw a lot more of what the first half provided, defense. The teams were physical, four cards were issues in the second half, and clearly frustrated their offensive opportunities were coming up short. Both teams recorded four shots in the second half with only one of them finding its way in to the net. In the 83^rd minute of play Freitas, from Falvey, found the bottom left corner of the net to give his team a 1-0 lead with under 10 minutes to play. The Buccaneers attacked often late in the game but the Pride defense held on for the win.

With the win the Pride go to 1-0 on the season. With the loss, the Bucs fall to 0-2.
