 RUTHERFORD,
N.J. - The Caldwell College women's basketball team led from start to finish
in a 99-69 win over Felician College in the Central Atlantic Collegiate
Conference opener for both teams Saturday afternoon at Job Gym. The result
improves the Cougars' overall record to 3-1 on the season, while the Golden
Falcons drop to 1-4. Junior forward Mackenzie Lynch (Wayne, NJ/DePaul
Catholic) paced Caldwell with 26 points, eight rebounds, five assists and
three steals.
The Cougars used an early 14-4 run to grab a 20-9 lead in the game's first
eight minutes. Felician never recovered, trailing by at least 10 points the
rest of the way. An 8-1 run to finish the half put Caldwell up 51-32 at
halftime for its largest lead of the first period. The Cougars shot 20-of-38
(52.6 percent) from the floor while making 11-of-13 (84.6 percent) from the
free throw line in the first half. Turnovers were also a factor in the first
20 minutes, with Felician coughing up the ball 20 times compared to nine
miscues for Caldwell.
The lead would grow to as many as 31 points in the second half before the
Golden Falcons used a 10-2 spree to reduce the Caldwell advantage to 19,
82-63 with 4:36 on the clock. But the Cougars finished strong with a 17-6
run during the remainder of the contest. Caldwell finished with 16 steals
while forcing 33 Felician turnovers in the game.
Lynch made 7-of-10 from the field and 11-of-14 from the charity stripe to
record a season-high 26 points. Senior guard Dana Leary (Bridgewater,
NJ/Immaculata) pitched in 12 points, three rebounds and three assists, and
freshman guard Stephanie Cadet (Elmont, NY/Elmont Memorial) swiped a
game-high five steals to go with nine points. All 12 Cougars who saw action
in the game scored. Janelle Biamonte had 13 points to pace the Golden
