Golden Bears Prove Too Much For Scots' Comeback

Gordon College Women's Basketball traveled to Springfield, Massachusetts to take on host Western New England University (WNE) in a Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) duel today, ceding a 68-51 loss to the Golden Bears to start the second half of conference play. The Golden Bears improve their record to 10-7 overall and 5-4 in conference, while the Fighting Scots fall to 5-13 overall and 2-7 in league action.
 
Brooke Dyson guided the way scoring 14 points for the Scots and teammate Abby Vampatella added 12 points, five rebounds, and three assists, while Sarah Gibbs booked nine points and eight rebounds.
 
Leading the charge for WNE were juniors Meghan Orbann (Jr./ East Hampton, Conn.) and Emily Farrell (Jr./ New Fairfield, Conn.), who registered a 15-point, 12-rebound double-double and a 14-point, five-assist afternoon, respectively. Sophomore Emily Scurka (So./ Billerica, Mass.) also poured in 14 points en route to the victory.

Both teams are back in action on Tuesday, January 22 as the Scots return home to host the University of New England and WNE welcomes Wentworth for 5:30 p.m. starts.
 
How it Happened
  • WNE took a 12-0 lead in the first quarter after back-to-back three pointers from Orbann and Lauren Chadwick (So./ Gardiner, Maine). The run was ended, though, when Gibbs finished her layup off a flashy backdoor pass from Dyson.
  • The Scots narrowed the gap to nine points with less than two minutes to play in the first half after a three-pointer from Vampatella.
  • The Golden Bears gained their largest lead of the game with just under seven minutes to play in the third quarter when a Chadwick layup put them up by 21.
  • Though Gordon cut WNE's lead to nine with just under six minutes to play in regulation after two made free throws by Gibbs, WNE closed out the final minutes with a 9-2 run to claim the 17-point W.
Beyond the Box Score
  • Gordon's Abby Vampatella scored a season-high 14 points, which ties her career-high.
  • After dishing out four assists, Alisha Henderson now has back-to-back games with four assists.
  • WNE swept the Scots in their two conference matchups this year.
