HARTFORD -- Senior center Katie Tausanovitch (Lyme, NH) scored
14 points, grabbed four rebounds and blocked three shots to lead
the visiting Tufts University Jumbos to a 62-46 win over the Trinity
College Bantams in a non-conference women's basketball game between
two conference teams this evening at Oosting
Gymnasium.
The Jumbos, ranked No. 16 in the nation, improve to 18-3. Tufts
won at Trinity, 64-42, last Friday in a league game. Trinity falls to 15-6 with its
fourth consecutive loss and its second home loss to Tufts in five
days.
Trinity held a 6-2 lead in the first two minutes, before the Jumbos
rattled off 16 unanswered points to go ahead, 18-6, with just under
12 minutes on the clock. Tufts cruised to a 34-17 lead at the break,
as sophomore guard Lindsay Weiner (Rockville, MD) and
first-year
forward Rachel Figaro (Windham, NH) provided a spark with
nine and eight points off the bench, respectively. The Jumbos, who held the
Bantams to six field goals in 26 attempts in the first stanza (23.1
percent), maintained a double-digit advantage for the entire second
half.
Junior forward Julia Baily (Farmington, CT) and
Figaro grabbed seven boards apiece to pace Tufts on the glass, and
junior guard Vanessa Miller (Cincinnati, OH) collected a game-high
six assists and four rebounds.
Trinity junior forward Christine Card (Waterbury, CT) had a
team-high 14 points and led all rebounders with nine, while freshman
guard Michelle Royals (Torrington, CT) dished out a team-high
four assists.
Tufts wraps up its regular-season home schedule and its
conference slate on Saturday (Feb. 14) with a home NESCAC game
against Bates at 3 pm. The Jumbos have already secured a home game
for the first round of the conference tournament on February 21.
Trinity has games at Middlebury and at Williams this weekend.
