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. The Warriors play their next game on the road as they face Dean College on Tuesday at 6:00 PM.
