MILTON, Mass.—Gordon Women's Basketball dropped its regular season finale on the road to Curry, losing 59-43. Offense was hard to come by in the first half, but Gordon trailed by only five in the third quarter before the Colonels made a final push to put the Fighting Scots away. The Scots missed out on the tiebreaker to Nichols, who Gordon beat earlier in the week.
 
The Fighting Scots finish the season at 6-19 and 2-16 in the Commonwealth Coast Conference. Curry improves to 12-13 overall and an even 9-9 in the CCC.
 
Curry scored the only two points of the opening five minutes as both offenses felt out the flow of the game. Jamie Tafoya (Fort Collins, Colo.) and Jess Ryan (Milford, N.H.) tallied five quick points to put Gordon up by three.
 
However, the Colonels scored seven of the final nine points of the quarter and continued the run well into the second period. Shannon Griffith capped off a 16-2 run that gave Curry an 18-7 lead approaching the half.
 
Gordon was able to eventually close the gap to six points when Sydney Pefanis (Cumming, Ga.) hit a three to make it a 20-14 game, but Gordon finished the half on another three-minute scoring drought and entering the half down 22-14.
 
Curry stretch the lead to 10 points in the early stages of the third quarter, but five consecutive points by Brooke Dyson (Houston, Texas) once again brought Gordon back within striking distance.
