Beyond The Box Score

• The Scots travel to Biddeford, Maine on Tuesday, February 25 to square off against the University of New England Nor'easters in the CCC Quarterfinals.
• Serianna Anderson netted a career-high 20 points.
• Meghan Foley recorded a double in each of GCWB's wins against Nichols this season.
• Said Head Coach Carter Shaw: "It was nice to finish the regular season with a win. Serianna Anderson had a huge game and was a gigantic difference maker in the first half. Meghan Foley continues to see and play the game at a super high level and her double-double tonight is a great example of that. Sarah Gibbs was right on the cusp of another double-double too but she does so many things that don't show up in the box score. Her defensive play stabilizes everything we do and her offensive contribution isn't accurately depicted by glancing over the stats - she genuinely propels us. I felt like every player on our entire team made a contribution today and I was also very pleased with our focus at the free throw line."
