Stellar shooting by senior Emily Rousseau’s,who led all scorers with 34-points and shot 11-16 from the field, led the Stone Hill Sky Hawks to a 78-60 victory over the Molloy Lions in the second game of the ECC/Ne-10 Challenge.
The Lions had their only lead early in the first half when they led 11-9 on seven consecutive points by senior Delmara Reese, who led the Lions in scoring in the first half with 12-points, and back to back lay -ups by Sophmore guard Christina Marra.
It was a one basket game until after a Sky Hawk time out when they went on a 15-0 run to go up 31-15. The Lions where able to cut into the Sky Hawk lead with five straight points by Reese, who finished with 14-points and 14-rebounds, at the half Stone Hill led Molloy 37-25.
In the second half Molloy was able to cut within six,48-42 on a 7-0 run which was led by freshman Jessica DeNicola , who scored 21-points in the second half. But Rousseau’s shooting was too much for the Lions . Her 21-points in the half opened up the game for the Sky Hawks as they cruised to win their second consecutive game this season.
The Molloy Lions fall to 0-2 on the year but show they have a lot of talent. If DeNicola can play like she did versus Stone Hill, and Reece continues to play well the Lions will be fine going into ECC play. The injury to Junior Laura Rivera hurt the Lions . The team needs a point guard and Marra did a nice job filling in with nine points, five assists and two steals . All of the Lions minor problems will piece themselves together during the season. They lost to two great teams and played both teams well so when league play starts look for the Lions to be on top of the ECC.
The Lions will resume play versus Millersville in the latter’s tip –off tournament
