Box Score
BEVERLY, Mass. – \#Ceciley Chisholm\# (Lexington, Mass.) became just the sixth player in Endicott women’s basketball history to eclipse 1,000 points in a career, as she scored a game-high 21 to help lead the Gulls past visiting Anna Maria, 57-44, in The Commonwealth Coast Conference action on Wednesday evening in Beverly, Mass. The Gulls (9-5, 3-1 TCCC) held the AMCATS (8-8, 0-4 TCCC) to just 16 second half points in the victory.
Endicott, who trailed for much of the evening, limped into halftime facing a 28-23 deficit after shooting just 30.8% (8-of-26) from the field in the opening 20 minutes of play.
Anna Maria pushed its lead to a night-high eight points just three minutes into the second frame after Tonique Adkins (New Haven, Conn.) posted two tough points on the inside, followed by a free-throw on the following possession.
That basket, however, would be the start of a night-changing run as Endicott found its stride and rattled off a 30-6 burst over a 14-minute stretch to blow the game wide open. \#Ashley Wright\# (Merrimack, N.H.) got the Gulls started as she dialed in from 25-feet on a deep 3-ball to knot the game at 33-all. Chisholm gave Endicott the lead on the following possession, picking up the hoop, the foul and the game’s momentum with a nicely executed three-point play.
A consistent inside-outside game for the remainder of the night put the AMCATS away as Wright, Chisholm and \#Ashley Vitale\# (Wilmington, Mass.) combined for 28 of Endicott’s 30 points during the spurt.
Endicott turned 29 Anna Maria turnovers into 30 points and held a dominant edge in second chance points, 19-1. The Gulls also outscored AMC at a 36-14 clip in the paint.
Chisholm led all scorers with a game-high 21 points and 11 rebounds in the win. She now stands at 1,004 career points. \#Ashley Wright\# finished with 15 points, nine rebounds and five assists, while Vitale posted 14 points and three blocks.
Anna Maria got 12 points and five steals from Samantha Ashton (Worcester, Mass.) and 11 points and four assists from Tonique Adkins in the losing effort.
Endicott returns to action on Thursday evening when the Gulls step out of conference play to host Daniel Webster at 7:00 p.m. Anna Maria looks to rebound against the University of New England on Saturday in Biddeford, Maine.
