Wentworth Downs Pine Manor, 66-20

BOSTON, Mass. – Freshman guard Ashley Conway (Danvers, Mass.) netted a career-high 16 points and the Wentworth women's basketball team held Pine Manor to just 12.5 percent shooting from the floor as the Leopards snapped a four-game losing streak with a 66-20 win.

The Leopards led from start to finish and would hold the visiting Gators off the scoreboard until 5:42 into the contest when a 5-0 lead was cut to 5-3.  That would be as close as Pine Manor would get and an 18-3 spurt over the final 10:00 of the half gave Wentworth a 28-8 lead at the break.  Pine Manor shot just 10 percent from the floor over the first 20:00.

Wentworth's defense forced 15 of the Gators' 27 turnovers in the second half and would hold Pine Manor scoreless for the final 7:26 of the game, while extending a 29-point lead to the final margin of 46.

Freshman forward Meaghan Murphy (Rutland, Mass.), senior forward Jessie Coffey (Wakefield, R.I.), and senior guard Michelle Fauci (Boxford, Mass.) each added 11 points for the Leopards.  Fauci had seven rebounds and seven assists, while Coffey had nine rebounds.  For Pine Manor, sophomore guard Yiafia Dowridge (White Plains, N.Y.) scored seven points while classmate Paulette Wright (Baltimore, Md.) grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds.

Both teams are back in action on Saturday at 1:00 p.m.  Wentworth (3-4) hosts Mount Ida, while Pine Manor (0-4) is at Gordon.
