Women's Basketball Defeats Saint Anselm, 68-57 Saturday

BRYANT WOMEN DEFEAT SAINT ANSELM 68-57 SATURDAY

MANCHESTER, NH –  Shannon Perry scored 16 of her 22 points in the second half while Joanna Skiba led all scorers with 23 points as the Bryant University women's basketball team picked up a 68-57 win over Saint Anselm College here Saturday. 

Leading 32-27 at the half, Bryant (7-17, 4-15 NE-10) pulled ahead 45-33 following a pair of Perry free throws early in the second half.  However Saint Anselm (6-18, 2-17 NE-10) would pull to within a pair, 46-44 with 11:03 left to play.  A three by Lana Martin and pull-up jumper in the paint by Katie Lavane helped key the run. 

After a timeout by the Bulldogs, Bryant would respond in a big way, holding the Hawks without a basket over the next seven minutes and outscoring the hosts 13-0 to push the lead back to double digits, 59-44 with just over three minutes to play.  Perry continued to hurt the Hawks with strong moves in the paint while both Perry and Skiba continued to shoot well from the foul line as the Bulldogs were never threatened.

Bryant shot 41 percent from the floor in the first half in taking a 32-27 lead into the locker room at the half. Skiba had 15 points in the first half including four 3-point field goals to pace the Bulldogs.

Bryant will return home to host Saint Michael's College this Wednesday night starting at 5:30 pm at the Chace Athletic Center.
