BOSTON, Mass. – Sophomore forward Jennifer White (Lisbon, N.H.) scored 12 of her game-high 14 points in the second half as the Endicott women's basketball team held Wentworth to 11.5 percent shooting from the floor in the second half, taking a 54-36 win in Commonwealth Coast Conference play.
The Gulls jumped out to an early, 7-0 lead behind a 3-pointer from senior guard Nicole Heffernan (Londonderry, N.H.) and baskets from sophomore forward Samantha Crough (Cohasset, Mass.) and sophomore guard Sarah Robinson (Norwich, Vt.).
A 3-pointer from sophomore guard Danielle Miranda (Westbrook, Maine) cut the lead to 7-4, but Endicott would build a nine-point lead on two occasions, including when freshman guard Katelyn Wright (Sudbury, Mass.) drained a shot from behind the arc with 6:13 left in the half. However, the Leopards outscored the Gulls by a 9-2 margin over the final 6:13 of the half and trailed by two (22-20) heading into the locker room.
Leopard sophomore guard Paige Newcomb (Topsfield, Mass.) hit a jumper on Wentworth's opening possession of the second half to tie the game at 22-all. After sophomore forward Jordan Ferland (Charlestown, N.H.) hit two free throws to give the Gulls a two-point lead, Wentworth sophomore forward Ashley Stowe (Voluntown, Conn.) tied the game with two free throws of her own.
Endicott built its lead back to five before Newcomb and Conway hit four straight from the charity stripe to cut the lead to one at 30-29 with 13:26 left.
