Massasoit Women dealt a loss by UCAP

The University of Connecticut at Avery Point breezed by the Lady Warriors, 73 -35, on Saturday at the Asiaf Field House. The Lady Warriors lost control of the game early as they were beset by a plague of turnovers. UCAP’s full court pressure stifled Massasoit and inhibited their ability to move the ball over the mid court line and the women trailed 35-16 at the half. The Lady Warriors could not find the hoop making just 14 of 58 shots overall. No Lady Warrior scored in double digits for the game.

While Massasoit was able to neutralize the UCAP height advantage on the boards, out-rebounding them 39-38 behind Joneiha Veiga’s 16 rebounds, UCAP’s height proved to be a problem for the Massasoit offense as they blocked 5 shots and held Massa to just 24% shooting for the game.

The Lady Warriors go on the road Tues 12/2 to take on the Lady Tigers of Roxbury at 5:00pm. GO WARRIORS!!
