Gordon College Women's Basketball once again hit their home court this afternoon as they welcomed cross-town rival Endicott College for a Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) battle. The Fighting Scots continued to extend their win streak as the blue and white took down the Gulls, 83-72.

For the Fighting Scots, Madison Wynbeek booked 21 points, 16 rebounds, and six assists, Isabella Rivera and Ami Rivera each recorded 18 points, Serianna Anderson notched a double-double with 12 rebounds and 11 points, while Naomi Nicholson had 10 points and six rebounds.

Endicott's efforts were led by Emily St. Thomas who had 21 points, Katelyn Konareski who chipped in 14, and Tara Laugeni who added 12 points. 

How It Happened

• The Fighting Scots saw nothing but net for their first three possessions, going a perfect 3-3 to go on top, 7-0 two minutes after tip-off. Four minutes later, Anderson and I. Rivera switched off to make three more straight three's before A. Rivera hit a pair from the charity stripe to widen the gap to 22-9 with 2:35 remaining in the high scoring first quarter. Endicott answered back with a 7-0 run but the blue and white had the final say in the frame as I. Rivera drained one from downtown to end the quarter with Gordon up, 25-16.
• In the second, both sides put up 18 on the scoreboard as Nicholson and I. Rivera combined for half of their squad's points to hold a 43-34 advantage at halftime. 
• Endicott was able to cut the deficit to single digits in the opening minutes of the third, but Gordon went on a 12-4 run midway through the frame to make it a 14-point game (57-43) with 3:14 to go in the third. However, the Gulls used a pair of three-pointers late to trail by just seven points after three quarters of action.
• Seven was the number again as the visitors netted seven straight points to bring the score to 73-70 with 2:31 left in regulation. However, the 70th point was the last the Gulls would score as Gordon closed it out (10-2) for a 83-72 victory in league action.
