Women's Basketball moves to 7-0 at home, after a 62-45 win over Saint Michael's College

WORCESTER, Mass. – Led by 20 points from Molly Stokes, the Assumption University women's basketball team came away with a 62-45 win over Saint Michael's College in Northeast-10 Conference action Saturday afternoon in Laska Gymnasium.

THE BASICS
Score: Assumption University 62, Saint Michael's College 45
Records: Greyhounds (11-3, 6-3 NE10), Purple Knights (4-11, 0-9 NE10)

HOW IT HAPPENED
It was a slow start for both sides, as the offense was sluggish out of the gate. Molly Stokes opened up with a three, but then it was a large spell of scoreless basketball from both sides. Assumption extended the lead by eight through Teagan Curran, and at the end of the quarter, the home side was in the lead 12-5.
 
The Hounds started to string some passes together in the second quarter, converting them into good makes through Marina Callahan and Amanda Mieczkowski, but the Purple Knights were hanging around. After a pair of free throws from Paige Slaven, the visitors were only down three minutes before halftime. Using some quick passing, Emma Dahl would convert from beyond the arc with six seconds left to give the Hounds a more comfortable nine-point advantage at the break, 26-17.
 
The second half was more like the Hounds, who used suffocation on the defensive ends to force turnovers and quick baskets in transition. Led by Mieczkowski and Stokes, the Hounds held a double-digit lead for most of the half, extending to 17 right before the end of the third quarter. The last ten minutes were played with Assumption in a comfortable lead. Saint Michael's did push and cut the deficit to 10, but that would be all. After free throws in the last minute, the Hounds walked out with a 62-45 victory.
