Senior post Paulina Tuell scored 14 points in the Rangers' 53-56 loss to Minesotta State Moorhead in their season opener on Monday.
The MSUM Dragons took the lead just over two minutes into the game and held it until the 15:26 mark when senior guard Courtney Ault put the Rangers up by one on a three-pointer. That lead would be the Rangers last of the game until there were just 49 seconds remaining. Tuell scored a jumper to make the score 53-52 in Regis' favor after the Rangers scored seven points to come within one with just 2:42 left.
Alison Nash-Gerlach scored both free throws after being fouled by sophomore forward Chelsea Porter to put the Dragons up by one with 28 seconds left. Two more made free throws by Betsy Dickson put MSUM up by three with eight seconds left and were the last made shots of the game.
The Rangers will face Cal State San Bernardino in the Grand Canyon Tournament on Nov. 21. Tip-off is set for 5:00 p.m.
