Women's Basketball Earns First Win of Season at Stonehill, 65-58

EASTON, Mass. – Junior Candace Andrews (Boston, Mass.) poured in a game-high 19 points to lead the Saint Anselm College women's basketball team to Saturday afternoon's 65-58 victory against Stonehill College at Merkert Gymnasium.

STANDOUT PERFORMERS

  • Andrews scored her 19 points on 5 of 12 shooting, including 1 of 1 from beyond the arc, and 8 of 11 from the line. Andrews also pulled down six rebounds and handed out four assists.
  • Senior Raquel Johnson (Inglewood, Calif.) posted 15 points (5-10 FG, 5-6 FT) and nine boards.

For the foes…

  • Kelly Martin led Stonehill with 19 points.

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • Two straight baskets from Vonleh triggered a 6-0 run to start the game for Saint Anselm, but a 7-0 counter-run put Stonehill on top nearly three-and-a-half minutes into the contest. The back-and-forth continued as the Hawks scored five straight to grab a 12-7 lead with 4:43 left to play in the opening quarter. Stonehill would make another push and slice its deficit to 15-14 at the end of one.
  • A 3-pointer from junior Aliyah Smith (Medford, N.Y.) to begin the second quarter sparked a 7-0 surge that stretched the Saint Anselm lead to 22-14 at the 7:13 mark. The Hawks would carry a 31-23 advantage into the halftime break.
  • A pair of treys from sophomore Ali Glennon (Bedford, N.H.) near the beginning of the third quarter helped the Hawks nudge their lead to an even 10 at 39-29 with 6:09 remaining. The lead was still 10 later in the frame when Martin closed the scoring with a 3-pointer that made it 46-39 at the end of the stanza.
  • Stonehill would get as close as five just 22 seconds into the final quarter, but Saint Anselm grabbed a commanding lead with a 13-4 rush that featured nine points from Andrews and broke the game open at 59-45 with 5:12 left. The Skyhawks would close the game on a 7-1 run, but it was obviously too little and too late.

  • Glennon tallied nine points (2-9 FG, 2-4 3-FG, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and two steals.
  • Junior Kaila Duarte (Dorchester, Mass.) posted eight points (4-5 FG), five boards and two assists.
  • Freshman Samnell Vonleh (Swampscott, Mass.) chipped in six points (3-9 FG), eight rebounds and three blocks.
