Last Time Out
A late surge in the second half allowed the University of Massachusetts women’s basketball team to force overtime, coming out on top with a 100-83 victory over Drake University at the Ocean Bank Convocation Center on Friday afternoon for its fourth straight win. After a 5-0 run to end regulation, the Minutewomen continued with a 17-0 run in overtime to score 100 points, marking the first 100-point contest for the program since December 7, 2017 (Fisher College – W, 121-38).
Five Minutewomen reached double figures, led by Sydney Taylor with a game-high 29 points, as the senior went 11-for-22 (.500) from the field, including matching a career best six made three-pointers. Destiney Philoxy followed with 20 points, while Sam Breen and Ber’Nyah Mayo tallied 19 points apiece. Angelique Ngalakulondi recorded her second double-double of the season, and eighth of her career, after totaling 13 points and a team-high 12 rebounds.
