SPRINGFIELD SHOOTS PAST WELLESEY 63- 46
Wellesley, Mass. – Holding a slim one-point
advantage at 25-24 entering into the second half of play, Springfield
found its shooting touch en route to a 63-46 win over Wellesley
College in a New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic
Conference basketball game, Saturday.
Connecting on nine of its first 13 shots in the opening minutes
of the second half, Springfield outscored Wellesley 23-10 to take
a commanding 48-36 lead with just over 11 minutes remaining. Springfield
shot an outstanding 54.8 percent from the field in the second half
hitting 17-of-31 shots and ended the game with a 41.2 field goal
percentage.
Springfield’s Katie Trice (Concord, N.H.) led all scorers
with 15 points on 6-for-11 shooting and collected a double-double
with 10 rebounds. The Pride’s Kelly McOmber (Woodbury, Conn.)
added 14 points, five steals and three assists while Kacey Wunsch
(Londonderry, N.H.) chipped in with a double-double on 10 points
and 11 rebounds. McOmber scored all 14 of her points in the
second half, including nine points in the decisive Springfield (10-6,
5-1) run.
Wellesley cut the lead to eight points with nine minutes remaining
on quick lay-ups from Kristin Doeberl (West Redding, Conn.) and
Erin Johnson (Westhampton Beach, N.Y.), but it wasn't enough
as McOmber followed lay-ups by Erin Schwartz (Mildford, Conn.) and
LaToya Franklin (Latham, N.Y.) with back-to-back three-pointers
to put Springfield up 57-44.
Wellesley (6-8, 2-3 NEWMAC) placed three players in double-figures
led by a 12-point, five-rebound effort from first-year Sefi Adasi
(Rockville, Md.) Adasi connected on 6-of-7 field goal attempts and
was aided by excellent passing from Johnson. Johnson ended
the game with 10 points and four assists, while Doeberl added a
double-double on 10 points and 10 rebounds.
