Women's Basketball Downs Roger Williams, 60-50
BEVERLY, Mass. — The Endicott women's basketball team picked up its sixth straight win at Roger Williams, 60-50, in Tuesday evening's Conference of New England (CNE) contest from Roger Williams' Campus Rec Gymnasium.
Aleah Bracey (New Bedford, Mass.) led all scorers with 21 points (7-16 FG, 3-6 3PT, 4-4 FT) in the win. She also snagged three rebounds and two steals in her 33 minutes.
Tenley Wallin (Danbury, Conn.) joined her in double-figures with an 11-point (5-10 FG, 1-3 3PT), three-rebound, one-assist performance.
Emma Shinney (Wakefield, Mass.) and Tricia Wladkowski (Norwood, Mass.) each filled up the stat sheet. Shinney scored eight points, grabbed five boards, dished out five dimes, and ripped away five thefts, while Wladkowski scored eight points, hauled down eight boards, recorded two assists and two steals.
After a back-and-forth first quarter, the Blue and Green headed to the second with a slim 14-12 lead.
Then, with things knotted up at 18 a side, Lily Cooper (Southington, Conn.) stepped up late in the shot clock and drained a deep three to put the Gulls back on top, 21-18. Next possession, Bracey knocked down a midrange jumper, and with that, the Gulls took a 23-18 lead into halftime.
Out of the half, Bracey knocked down a couple of jumpers to put the Blue and Green up a few possessions. Wallin later knocked down a deep two and a layup, and that helped to a 39-29 lead heading to the fourth.
Bracey and Wallin guided the Gulls to an 8-0 run to open the fourth to push the lead up to 18 (47-29) with 8:26 remaining.
Despite a late push from the hosts, the Gulls were able to hold off the Hawks, and eventually closed out their 60-50 road win.
