Forbes Tallies Career-High 30 Points in Hawks Loss at No. 22 Bentley

WALTHAM, Mass. – Senior Tatum Forbes scored a career-high 30 points, but the Saint Anselm College women's basketball team fell on the road at No. 22 Bentley University, 64-54, at the Dana Center in a Northeast 10 Conference matchup on Wednesday.
 
Highlights
  • This marked the 103rd all-time meeting between these two programs as Saint Anselm falls to 16-87 overall against Bentley in the series that began in 1978.
  • The Hawks fall to 9-8 on the year with a 4-8 mark in NE10 play.
  • Forbes shot 13-23 from the field and knocked down her lone three-point attempt of the night, as she scored 30 points for the first time in her career. This was the first 30-point game by a Hawk since last year's NE10 Player of the Year, Melanie Hoyt '25, scored 31 against American Int'l on Nov. 13, 2024.
  • Forbes also had six rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 39 minutes.
  • Junior Meghan Trapper scored six points and knocked down two three-pointers while classmate Kaitlin McDonough led the Hawks with seven boards.
