THIRD QUARTER SPLURGE LEADS SAINT ROSE PAST SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT STATE

Nazon Tosses In A Career-High To Help Propel Golden Knights

ALBANY-The College of Saint Rose closed out the third period with a 10-0 run on the way to today's 73-66 Northeast-10 Conference victory versus Southern Connecticut State at the Daniel P. Nolan Gymnasium. The Golden Knights (3-4/2-3 NE10) scored 15 points off of 12 Owls (3-5/1-3 NE10) turnovers and outscored them 32-24 in the paint.
 
"Our rebounding was the difference maker today. Also, we got great minutes from our young bench. I am proud of the team's effort against a hot shooting team," said head coach Karen Haag.
 
Senior guard Taylor Nazon scored a career-high 23 points and senior forward Staci Barrett recorded her third "double-double" of the year behind 14 points and a career best 16 boards to propel Saint Rose. Junior guard Britani Stowe added 12 points, four assists and four steals.
 
The Golden Knights went into the locker room up five, 38-33, at intermission and it was still a five point affair, 46-41, with 5:08 to go in the third when sophomore guard Niki Tsiotos knocked down a jumper to ignite the decisive spurt. Four minutes later, freshman forward Leah Dollard drained a jumper herself to cap it.
 
Southern Connecticut State eventually whittled its deficit to seven on three occasions throughout the fourth period with the last time coming at 67-60 after freshman guard Imani Wheeler finished inside. However, Stowe buried a pair from the foul line and then hit another after coming up with a steal to put Saint Rose in the driver's seat, 70-60, with 40 ticks remaining.
 
Senior forward Taylor McLaughlin led all scorers with 26 points and Wheeler added 13 in 20 minutes off the bench to pace the Owls, who came into this afternoon having won three of their last four.
 
Looking ahead, Saint Rose travels to Long Island to take on Adelphi Tuesday at 5:30 pm. Southern Connecticut State has a 5:30 pm road date at Pace University on Wednesday.
Notes: The Golden Knights registered a season-high scoring total today…They also shot 45.9 percent (28-for-61) from the floor, their second  best effort thus far in 2016-17…Barrett has been in double-figures scoring in all seven games to date while Nazon has pulled off the feat on six occasions.
