Box Score WALTHAM, MA –Host and ninth-ranked Bentley jumped out to a quick start in each half and forced The College of Saint into 24 turnovers en route to a 67-47 Northeast-10 Conference victory this afternoon at the Dana Center.

Senior guard Ashley Rath scored 13 points, on 5-for-8 shooting, to go with four assists and three steals; and fellow senior guard Ola Shajuyigbe added 10 points for the Golden Knights (9-6/6-5 NE-10).

Sophomore forward Lauren Batista had 12 points and six boards, while classmate Jacqui Brugliera and senior guard Katherine Goodwin added 11 apiece for Bentley. Also, junior guard Kelsey Roberson recorded nine points, six rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes off the bench.
