Women's Basketball Slips Past Saint Michael's, 57-56
NORTH ANDOVER, MA - With a career-high 29 points, sophomore
Genn
Roy (Granby, MA) led the Merrimack women's basketball
team to a win over Saint Michael's College Saturday afternoon at
Volpe Gym.
With the win, Merrimack (11-15, 9-12 NE-10) has a share of ninth
in the Conference with one game to play against Southern New
Hampshire on Wednesday. Saint Michael's falls to 8-16 (6-15
NE-10) and out of contention for the postseason.
For head coach Helen Williams,
the 2009-10 became her winningest season in her young career with
11 regular season wins and nine Conference wins.
The first half featured sophomore Roy's highest scoring first
half of the year with 16 points on 7-of-13 shooting from the
field. Roy played the first 20 minutes in their entirety
while grabbing four boards in the meantime.
Behind 12 offensive boads in the first half, Merrimack scored
eight second chance points but after a six point lead, the Warriors
succumbed to a 16-4 run that led to a kotted halftime score
(31-31).
In the second half, Merrimack used 5-of-9 shooting from deep to
gain as much as a seven point advantage at 12:18 on a three from
junior Tiffany Colon
(Lawrence, MA). Saint Michael's, on the other hand,
shot just 1-of-11 from long distance. In the game, Colon had
12 points and 10 boards in 31 minutes.
For Saint Michael's, junior Logan Pintka led the Purple Knights'
scoring attack with 16 points, including 8-of-8 from the line.
The Warriors return to action for their final Conference game
against Southern New Hampshire on Wednesday, February 24 at
5:30pm. Before the game, senior Casey Miller-the current
seventh leading scorer in Merrimack history (1,205)-will be honored
in recognition of her four years with the Merrimack women's
basketball program.
