Lewiston, Maine. – Olivia Zurek scored 21

12:30 remaining in the contest but Bates’ Annie Whiting (Contoocook,
N.H.) connected on a lay-up of her own on the next trip down the
court to give the Bobcats a double-digit lead which they would hold
for the rest of the game.
Heather Taylor (Nobleboro, Maine) and Lauren DuBois (Beverly, Mass.)
each scored 16 points a piece Bates (6-4).

shooting from the field and a 7-for-8 performance from the charity
