...captain Cat Ferrante, who tallied a hat trick in last year's 7-0 mauling of B.U., started yesterday's onslaught with her third goal in the last three games. Just 8.24 into the match, Carrillo streaked down the sideline, as Crimson wings would do all afternoon, and launched a crossing pass into the Terrier crease, where Ferrante wasted no time directing the ball into the twines...

They are the largest Christian entity in any Middle Eastern country, with small communities in the U.S. and Canada, South Africa, Australia and other countries...
