Bison Knock Gulls off Cloud Nine
Feb. 4, 2006
DUDLEY, MA - Endicott senior co-captain Jodi Brown (Coventry, RI/Coventry) did all she could keep the Gulls' eight game winning streak alive, but Kristina Weasel and Kara Cicchiello had other ideas for Nichols College, which upended the Gulls, 57-50, Saturday afternoon in Commonwealth Coast Conference action.
The game was tied at 44-44 with five minutes remaining in regulation, but the Bison finished the game on a 13-6 run, scoring the final five points of the contest to move to 11-2 in the CCC and 14-6 overall. The Gulls fell to 13-7 overall and 11-2 in conference action.
Brown led all scorers with 13 points on 5-of-7 shooting from the floor and 3-of-3 from beyond the arc. She also had five rebounds and three assists but Endicott did not have another player reach double digits. Senior co-captain Liz Yuneman (Middle Village, NY/St. Francis) added eight points while junior guard Carly Haynes (Laconia, NH/Laconia) and freshman forward Hayley Janelle (Madbury, NH/Oyster River) each dropped in six points.
The Bison relied on Weasel's 12 points, Cicchiello's 11 points and a monster game from MaryLynn Skarzenski, who handed out 11 assists and scored nine points.
Endicott will try to get back on track Tuesday when it travels to Eastern Nazarene College at 6:00 PM.
