Women's Basketball Picks Up Win At Wentworth, 75-51

BOSTON, Mass. — The Endicott women's basketball team knocked off Wentworth, 75-51, in Saturday afternoon's Conference of New England (CNE) matchup from Tansey Gymnasium.

Libby Fleming (Bangor, Maine) and Emma Shinney (Wakefield, Mass.) led the way with 16 points each. Fleming hauled down 10 rebounds and swatted three shots, while Shinney collected four boards, two assists, and two thefts.

Tenley Wallin (Danbury, Conn.) filled up the stat sheet. The junior guard posted 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3PT, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, and two steals in her second start of the season.

The Gulls hopped out to a quick 10-6 lead after the first 5:25 of play thanks to five points from Shinney, an Alyssa Garabedian (Cheshire, Mass.) layup, and a Katelyn Konareski (Milford, Conn.) triple.

The Leopards leveled things out at 16 apiece with a 10-6 run, but an Avery Brown (Canton, Conn.) three-pointer put the Gulls up 19-16 to close out the quarter.

In the second, the Blue and Green opened on a 10-4 run highlighted by two buckets from Fleming. They continued to push the lead up as the half continued, eventually heading to the break with a 38-24 advantage.

A huge 10-0 spurt to open the third quarter propelled the Gulls to a 24-point lead. They continued to push the foot to the gas pedal throughout the quarter, outscoring the Leopards 23-14 in the period.

The fourth quarter featured a more competitive quarter, with the Gulls outscoring the Leopards 14-13. A highlight sequence from Sarah Shaw (Southwick, Mass.) which included a rejection and two free throws made sealed the deal in the matchup, securing an Endicott 75-51 road victory.
