LEWISTON, Maine -- Four players scored in double figures as
the University of Southern Maine women's basketball team got
past host Bates College 67-57 in a non-league contest on
Tuesday night at Alumni Gym.
Stacey Kent scored 17 points (13 in the first half) with 6
rebuonds, Haley Johnson added a career-high 15 points with 9
rebounds, Nicole Paradis chipped in with 12 points (10 in
the first half) and Kristi Violette had a double-double with
a career-high 11 points and 10 rebounds for the Huskies
(4-0). Kaylie DeMillo passed out a game-high 6 assists.
Val Beckwith scored a team-high 14 points on 6 of 9 shooting
for Bates (2-1), which suffered its first loss of the
season. The Bobcats were outrebounded 39-25, and Southern
Maine built a big advantage at the foul line, hitting 19 of
22 shots from the charity stripe while Bates attempted just
4 foul shots, hitting 3 -- all by sophomore Christine
McCall, who had 10 points and 4 rebounds in the game.
The first half went back and forth, with seven ties and nine
lead changes, as Bates' 5-of-6 shooting from behind the arc
helped offset Southern Maine's 14-15 free throw shooting and
14-27 (.519) performance from the field. Bates went ahead
17-12 on a layup by Christine McCall with 11:22 remaining in
the half, but the Huskies answered with an 11-0 run ,
featuring five points by Kent and four by Paradis. Bates
would retake the lead, but Southern Maine finished the
period with seven straight points, including a putback by
Johnson that beat the final buzzer, and the Huskies went
into halftime with a 42-35 advantage.
Bates retook the lead by starting the second half with an
11-0 run of its own, fueled by three-pointers from Annie
Burns, Kellie Goodridge and Val Beckwith. Bates led 49-44
with 13:58 to play, but USM answered with a 10-0 run, with
four points each by Johnson and Renee Nicholas, for a 49-44
edge with 9:36 left. The Huskies held the Bobcats to 8
points in the final 14 minutes to sew up the victory.
Kellie Goodridge submitted a strong all-around performance
for Bates with 9 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
Bates built a 24-10 advantage in bench points in the game,
but USM outscored Bates 38-20 in the paint.
Bates will play at Husson on Dec. 2 at 7 p.m.; USM plays at
Bowdoin the same day at 7:30 p.m.
