Women’s Basketball Too Much For Elms

WESTON, Mass. – Brittany Stone (West Bridgewater, Mass.) had 27 first-half points and the Regis (Mass.) women's basketball team allowed a season-low point total in a 75-30 win over Elms College in New England Collegiate Conference action, Saturday at Higgins Court.

With the win the Pride (8-5, 7-0 NECC) remain atop the league standings. Elms falls to 6-7 overall and 4-3 in conference play.

Stone finished with a game-high 29 points on a scorching 12-15 shooting despite sitting out most of the fourth quarter. She made full use of her height advantage on the defensive end as well with a game-high seven blocks. Amanda Hawkesworth (Abington, Mass.) put up 12 points and Mikayla Murphy (Attleboro, Mass.) dished out a team-high 10 assists.

Chaniah Pantry (New Haven, Conn.) was one point shy of a double double for the Blazers, recording a game-high 11 dimes to go along with nine points and five rebounds.

The Pride opened the game on a 16-4 run then slowly increased its margin going forward. Stone was unstoppable in the first quarter, posting back-to-back buckets on two occasions to finish with 10 points by the end of the period. Later on, Stone's and-one basket lifted the lead to 25-8 with 5:31 remaining in the half and Regis began to pull away. The Pride scored the first eight points of the third quarter to put the game on ice.
