MCLA Sports Info 08:44AM / Monday, February 23, 2009
North Adams, Mass. - MCLA junior Jade Prickett (Westhampton, MA) scored a career high 17 points and first year Jen Wehner (Cooperstown, MA) matched Prickett's total, but it wasn't enough to lift the Trailblazers over visiting Bridgewater State. With the win the Bears (14-10, 7-5) clinch the third spot in the MASCAC and will host Salem State on Tuesday night in the first round of the conference tournament. MCLA (14-11, 4-8) earned the fifth seed and will travel to Worcester State on Tuesday for a 7:00pm game.
MCLA jumped out to an early lead and it wasn't until the 16:30 mark that the Bears finally got on the board. The Trailblazers were able to hold off Bridgewater with as much as an ten point lead at times in the first half. Wehner entered the game four minutes in and made an immediate impact scoring 13 points in the half. Brittney Chappron (Braintree, MA) scored 12 points in the first half leading the Bears on a 15-0 run near the end to take a 35-30 lead into the break.
The Bears came out pressing hard in the second half going on a 13-0 run when Larissa Miner (Greenfield, MA) finally broke the run with a hoop at the 12:30 mark. Bridgewater's Ashley Coucci (Dartmouth, MA) pulled down a game high 19 rebounds. MCLA never gave up and tried to close the gap but they just weren't able to muster the come-back.
