Bonnies Tripped Up By La Salle, 67-58

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. – The St. Bonaventure University women's basketball team fell to La Salle, 67-58, Wednesday evening at the Reilly Center.

Dani Haskell scored a game-high 22 points on 7-of-16 shooting, including four 3-pointers. Zoe Shaw finished with 13 points while Caitlin Frost chipped in 12 points, seven rebounds and three blocks.

The Bonnies (5-16, 1-9 A-10) and the Explorers (8-15, 2-8 A-10) were deadlocked at 32-32 coming out of the locker room following halftime.

La Salle opened the scoring in the second half, but the Bonnies responded with back-to-back scores to retake a three-point lead.

Haskell gave the Bonnies the lead back, 42-41, with just over a minute to play in the third.

The Explorers, however, used a 9-0 run between the end of the third and the 9:24 mark of the fourth to extend push their lead to eight, 50-42.

Hannah Richardson's layup with 6:55 remaining in the contest cut the Bonnies deficit to four, 52-48, but La Salle answered with seven straight points to extend the lead to double digits with just over four minutes to play.

La Salle did not let the Bonnies back within fewer than seven the rest of the way.

It was a tightly contested first half Wednesday as neither team led by more than four in the first half.

The Bonnies were able to take a 19-17 lead after one following a Haskell three-point play at the free throw line.

Joan Quinn registered 21 points to lead the Explorers.

QUOTES FROM HEAD COACH JIM CROWLEY
"Credit to La Salle. They outplayed us in the second half. I am disappointed in that second half performance. They were beating us to loose balls and we had some chances in the paint we didn't capitalize on. We had a one-point lead with about a minute to go in the third quarter and from then on we couldn't get back-to-back stops or back-to-back good possessions."

UP NEXT
The Bonnies are back in action Sunday, Feb. 2 when they host Duquesne. Tipoff is slated for 1:00 p.m. at the Reilly Center.
