Game Statistics
FITCHBURG -- Behind senior co-captain Khalilah Ummah's
(Litchfield, ME) double-double (10 points, 12 rebounds), #17
Tufts University never trailed Saturday afternoon in remaining
undefeated with a 62-47 victory over host Fitchburg State College in
non-conference women's basketball action at Fitchburg State
College's Recreation Center.
The Jumbos (10-0) got a huge game from Ummah, who dominated the
paint with six offensive rebounds. She also picked up a pair of
assists, added four steals and had a block in the victory. Junior
Kim Moynihan (West Hartford, CT) led Tufts with 14 points to go
along with three steals and two assists. Fellow guard Colleen
Hart (Needham, MA) was the only other Jumbo in double figures,
scoring 13 points while dishing out two helpers and picking up a

(Springfield, MA), who also added five steals and six rebounds.
Michelle Ridge (Milton, MA) was the only other Falcon in double
figures with 10 points, two steals and three rebounds.
Tufts relied on its tenacious defense and forced 32 FSC
turnovers, but the Jumbos committed 23 turnovers. After the visitors
opened up a 21-12 cushion, the Falcons clawed their way back into the
contest and trailed 27-26 at the break. Tufts would finally break
away when a Hart three with 12:55 to play in regulation sparked an
8-0 run that helped seal the victory.

points and grabbed eight boards while Julia Baily (Farmington,
