Leading the way for the Lady Knights was freshman Amy Gobeille (Lincoln), who had six aces and converted 19 serves, including 14 in a row at one point.

The CCRI men’s soccer team took on rival Dean College and came up just short in a 2-1 overtime loss. The Knights dropped to 6-8 on the season and 6-3 in Region XXI play. The Knights found themselves trailing 1-0 in the first half, despite several solid scoring chances. Freshman Josh Hulme (Cranston) came off the bench late and scored a late goal, but the Knights couldn’t complete the comeback as Dean won in overtime. Before the loss to Dean, the Knights posted a 3-2 victory over Bristol Community College. Co-Captain Revelino DaVeiga (Pawtucket) started the scoring for the Knights on an assist from fellow Co-Captain Denis Peixoto (Pawtucket), giving the Knights a 1-0 lead. The Bees answered before halftime to make it 1-1. CCRI coaches Gabe Toro and Neal Rei made some key changes at halftime to ignite the Knights’ offense, and those moves paid off as both substitutes came-up with big scores. Alex Elmayan (Cranston) scored first with an assist from Javier Juarez (Cranston) to give the Knights a 2-1 lead. Two minutes later, Hulme scored for the 3-1 lead.
