With a 2-2-1 press the Warriors took the lead early in the first. Even though they had 19 turnovers, because of 19 steals the Warriors led 43-23 at the half.
In the second half the Warriors played a 1-3-1 half court press only turning the ball over twice and allowing them to steal 7 more times. Even though the Warriors turned the ball over more then BCC, the Warriors had the ball 15 more times due to their 50 rebounds versus BCC's 33 rebounds.
Leading the team to victory was none other then the captain Joneiha Veiga. Veiga had 20 of the 50 rebounds along with 5 steals and 30 points. Helping with the 26 overall steals was Shannon Mullen with 5. Amanda Dutcher also added 14 points and starter Treasa O'Neil added another 12. "Ten of the eleven players scored for the Warriors making this a great team victory" said head coach Sal Pina.
Coach Pina said that the Warriors will "face their toughest challenge of the season to date" as they travel to Connecticut to face Manchester Community College this Saturday.
This is a great start Chelsea. Keep it up.
