Shooting Struggles Lead to Loss to Rhode Island College
BOX SCORE
JAMAICA, N.Y—The York College women's basketball team could not find their rhythm offensively Thursday night, as they fell to Rhode Island College 62-44 in a non-conference contest.
York performed well on defense, holding Rhode Island to just 31 percent shooting but the Cardinals fared worse on offense, shooting just 28 percent on the night. Rhode Island College also held a 53-39 rebounding advantage on the night.
The Cardinals kept it close early but an 11-0 run midway through the first half turned a two-point game into a 13-point lead for the Anchorwomen. Cassandra Novicky capped the run with a three-pointer to make the score 24-11. The game was never close from that point on, as the Anchorwomen took a 14-point advantage into the locker room and were able to maintain that comfortable lead throughout the second half.
Despite the loss, York got a nice game from
Shadae Rice, who netted 14 points and handed out four assists.
Vania St. Louis chipped in eight points and
Stayce Kay Muirhead grabbed ten rebounds.
Rhode Island (8-2) was led by Cynthia Gaudet, who scored a game-high 18 points. Stephanie Coro added 11 points.
