Bonnies Fall On The Road To Massachusetts

AMHERST, Mass. – The St. Bonaventure University women's basketball team fell to Massachusetts, 81-54, Wednesday evening at the Mullins Center.

Dani Haskell paced the Bonnies with 13 points, finishing 4-for-11 from the field. Zoe Shaw and Hannah Richardson registered 11 points each for the Brown and White.

Yahmani McKayle made a 3-pointer for the Minutewomen to open the second half, but the Bonnies answered with a 9-0 spurt with threes from Mackenzie Pettinelli and Richardson to cut it to a four-point game, 39-35.

Richardson tied the game on a three with 4:19 showing in the third, tying the game at 43-43.

The Minutewomen, however, responded with a 15-0 run to end the third, retaking the lead, 58-43.

Momentum stayed with the hosts as their lead grew to as many as 29 in the fourth, earning the victory.

Haskell's layup with 4:59 remaining in the first tied the game 11-11 early on.

Massachusetts, however, closed the first quarter with a 12-2 run, taking a 23-13 lead after one.

The Bonnies cut the lead to 10, 28-18, early in the second period with back-to-back scores from Macy Smith and Shaw.

Smith pulled the Bonnies back within 10 before the break with her first three of the game, making the score 36-26 at the break.

  • UMass outrebounded the Bonnies, 34-19.
  • Hannah Richardson's 11 points is a new career-high for the freshman.

QUOTES FROM HEAD COACH JIM CROWLEY
"We missed an opportunity in the first quarter to certainly not be down 10. We gave away possessions which led to scores. We steadied the boat in the second and then talked at halftime about what we could do better. We came out with great pace and really executed our offense. Then were just on offense a lot more than we were on defense the rest of the game."

"Credit to UMass. They executed. They made some tough shots and we had a couple of bad turnovers and we got away from how we were playing."

UP NEXT
The Bonnies return home to host George Washington Saturday, Feb. 8 for the annual Pink Game. Tipoff is slated for 1:00 p.m. at the Reilly Center.
