GOLDEN KNIGHTS IMPROVE TO 5-2 AT HOME

Barrett becomes 20th member of the 1,000 point club

Also, sophomore guard Ashley Vanderwall tossed in 15 points while freshman guard Cameron Graupman handed out five assists and pulled down seven rebounds.
 
The Golden Knights walked in the locker room down 27-22 at halftime, before closing the third period with a 14-4 run that made it 44-38 Saint Rose heading to the fourth. Barrett knocked down a jumper in the paint to ignite the spurt and Vanderwall capped it with a jumper of her own.
 
Senior guard Taylor Nazon eventually made it a seven point, 50-43, affair midway through the fourth after she finished inside. Saint Rose then held Merrimack without a field goal during the final 5:33 to secure the win.
 
Freshman forward Denia Davis-Stewart finished with 14 points, nine rebounds, and five blocks to lead the Warriors.
 
Looking ahead, both teams hit the road Saturday for 1:30 pm NE10 dates. The Golden Knights travel to Colchester, VT to face Saint Michael's, while Merrimack heads to Long Island to take on Adelphi.
