Congrats to the Men’s and Women’s Basketball teams on their successful seasons!

But UCAP’s height and inside game caught up with the Lady Warriors as UCAP pulled away with a 78-58 victory.

Warriors Edged By STCC, 67-66

In the state semifinals the Warriors were edged by Springfield Technical Community College, 67-66. MCC played their best game of the year but were unable to defeat the tough STCC squad. Rob Adams had 18 points for Massasoit while Matt Ezepek added 16. Marcus McLaurin had 15 points to help the cause while Quinton Peddy and Mike Paige added 8 each. MCC had a final shot to win but the shot hit the back of the iron and the Warriors were denied.

Lady Warriors Take Second in MCCAC Tournaments

The Lady Warriors of Massasoit competed in the Massachusetts State Junior College tournament this weekend for the second time in two seasons. As the number two seed in the tournament Massasoit drew the number three seed Springfield Technical Community College who they lost to only a week ago. The Lady Warriors played brilliantly in the first half building an 11 point lead by the end of the half, 35-24, behind the scoring of Katy Holt and Treasa O’Neil who each scored 10 points in the first half. At the 10 minute mark of the second half The Lady Warriors had amassed a 20 point lead, but Springfield would not go away quietly as they fought tooth and nail to cut the lead to 8 points by the end of the game. The Warriors held on 62-54 and moved to the final game and a chance at the State title for the second year in a row behind the effort of Treasa O’Neil (20 points, 3 assists) and Katy Holt (16 Points). Joneiha Veiga also grabbed 14 rebounds in the win.

In the second game of the tournament on Sunday the Lady Warriors faced the number one seed, Roxbury Community College. During the season the Tigers of Roxbury defeated Massasoit twice by margins of 18 and 16 points. The game did not start well for Massasoit as they found themselves quickly down 10-0 with fifteen minutes remaining in the half. By the end of the half the Warriors were down 38-17 and it looked like the game was going to be a blow-out, but the Lady Warriors would not surrender. With a Herculean effort, the Warriors managed to cut the lead to 10 points with just five minutes left in the game behind the play of Diva Pierre. It looked like the Warriors might come back, but a 4 point play by Jillisa Walcott who stuck a three pointer, was fouled, and made the foul shot, sealed the game for the Tigers. Katy Holt led the scoring for Massasoit with 14 points and Diva Pierre added 11 points and 5 assists in the loss.

Massasoit (3 seed) takes on the number 2 seed, the University of Connecticut at Avery Point, next Saturday at Quinsigamond College in the Regional tournament for a bid at the national tournament.

Senior Night At Massasoit

Tuesday night was Senior Night at Massasoit. Coach Pina honored Juliana Blanchette, Amanda Dutcher, Shannon Mullen, Shaleeka Rogers, and captain Joneiha Veiga who are playing there last season with the Lady Warriors.
Following the honoring of the seniors, the Lady Warriors dedicated the night to Corey Shea. Corey's little sister Kayla became the honorary 6th man that night sporting the Warriors shirt saying "Tenacious D Wins Championships!" along with a new pair of KG sneakers, given to her by the team. Kayla was very excited to be on the bench that night. Even though she has been to a Celtics game before, this was her first College game. Kayla's spunk and charisma was the talk of the Lady Warrior's bench that night. This young girl, who wants to try out for Hockey because of her love of Ice Skating, had an amazing time remember her older brother who she loves and misses. "My favorite memory of Corey is him holding me on our couch until I would fall asleep" said Kayla. Kayla has a lot ahead of her in life and the personality to charm a room and take her as far in life as she wants to go.
Even though Senior Night was one to remember, the Lady Warriors fell to Quinsigamond 48-52. Quinsigamond held Joneiha Veiga to only 7 points. Treasa O'Neil scored the most with 18 points and Katy Holt had 9 points. In the end, Quinsigamond had the better defense. "We left to many of their girls open," said Coach Pina. "We weren't sharing the ball enough and we were not finding the best shots."
Despite the lose, the Lady Warriors are 1 of 4 teams heading to the MCCAC State Tournament being help at Holyoke Community College today. The Ladies tap off at 2:00 pm against Springfield Tech.
Next weekend, the Lady Warriors wll be competing in the NJCAA New England where they will be playing at Quinsigamond CC against University of CT, Avery Point.
Good Luck Ladies.

Lady Warriors Lose to Springfield Tech 58-65

The Lady Warriors lost to Springfield Technical CC on Saturday on the road. After winning seven in a row, the Lady Warriors have now lost four of their last five contests. Despite early foul trouble for team captain Joneiha Veiga, Massasoit took a 29-25 lead into half time. It looked like Massasoit might win the game easily as they built a ten point lead with just less than ten minutes to go when STCC’s shooting heated up hitting their threes and Massasoit cooled down, having trouble finding the hoop at the line. Joneiha Veiga led all scorers with 18 points. Katy Holt added 15. Massasoit's record is 11-7 going into the final game tonight against Quinsigamound CC

Lady Warriors Fall to Manchester 70-80

Looking to avenge a 100-43 loss earlier in the season, the Lady Warriors faced-off with the Cougars of Manchester Community College on Saturday at the Asiaf Field House, and for a while it looked like they would get their revenge! The Warriors played brilliantly in the first half amassing a 14 point lead, 38-24, by the end of the frame. Mixing excellent defense with a well executed press break, Massasoit scored seemingly at will.

In the second half, however, the wheels fell off the wagon. The Warriors were unable to contain the tremendous inside game of the Cougars as Manchester relentlessly pounded the ball down low. The Cougars got to the foul line 19 times while converting 16 of their attempts. Meanwhile, the Warriors made it to the charity stripe only 8 times in the entire game! Treasa O’Neil led the Warrior attack with a double-double, shooting 57% from the field with 20 points and 10 assists on the day. Joneiha Veiga continued to play well as she dropped 19 points, grabbed 15 rebounds, and blocked 3 shots.

Lady Warriors Squeeze By With Win

The Lady Warriors beat the Holyoke Bulldogs at home yesterday with a final score of 60-51.

Helping the team with the win was Joneiha Veiga with 25 points, Shannon Mullen with 12 points, and Katy Holt with 9 points.

The Warriors were ahead at the half 28-17 and built a 24 point lead. In the second half, the Bulldogs played a more aggressive game bringing the Warriors lead down to only 2 points. It took some effort but the Warriors won the game by 9 points. “They had 10 more possessions then us in the second half,” said head coach Sal Pina, “that was the main reason for why they were able to crawl back.”

Coach Pina wanted the girls to focus on blocking Holyoke’s Stephanie White. White has an average 16 points per game but the Warriors held her to 13. “In a situation like this I tell the girls not to look at it as ‘we were leading by 24 and only won by 9’”, said Pina, “I tell them to look at the situation as, ‘we had a 24 point lead and we won, it might have been by only 9 points but we still won.”

The Lady Warriors next home game is Thursday at 5:00 versus Roxbury.
