Women's Basketball Tripped Up In NJAC Opener

Montclair, NJ – The Montclair State University women's basketball team dropped a 62-43 decision to New Jersey City University in the New Jersey Athletic Conference opener on Tuesday.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • After a nearly four-minute scoreless stretch to open the game, the Red Hawks tallied the first five points on a three from MEGAN DUFFY and a layup from ISABELLA ORLANDO. The Gothic Knights held Montclair scoreless for the first 7:06 of the second, opening up a double-digit lead after a 13-1 spurt.
  • Despite trailing by seven at the break, the Red Hawks got to within four as SHANNON HUGHES knocked down three free throws to make it 27-23. After trading buckets to make it 30-25, the guests finished the third stanza on an 18-5 run to get the gap to 18 entering the fourth.
  • Montclair got as close as 16 the rest of the way on a Hughes three-pointer, with BRIANNA MONTAJES capping off the scoring with a pair of free throws in the final minute. 
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • Duffy led the Red Hawks with 12 points as Hughes added nine.
  • OLIVIA VERO posted a team-high 10 rebounds and three blocked shots while adding three assists.
FROM THE COURT
"Tough start to conference play, but I thought we had a good effort on the defensive end holding NJCU to only 62 points. We plan to continue working on our offense over the next few practices to put ourselves in a better position to be successful as a team." – Associate Head Coach Katie Sire.

UP NEXT
The Red Hawks resume non-conference play on Monday as they host Hunter College at 6:30 pm inside the Panzer Athletic Center.
