MANCHESTER, N.H. - The College of Saint Rose put four players in double figures scoring in tonight's 75-62 Northeast-10 Conference Championship first-round loss at Southern New Hampshire. The Golden Knights, the fifth seed out of the Southwest Division, cut what was a 15-point fourth period deficit to five with 2:37 left before falling.
 
Junior guard Ashley Vanderwall led Saint Rose (10-17) with 15 points on 6-for-11 shooting. Sophomore guard Takora McIntyre added a career-high 13 points, junior forward Karissa Birthwright tossed in 11, and junior guard Isa Vara de Rey totaled 10.
 
Southern New Hampshire (17-11) received a "double-double" of 26 points and 16 rebounds from junior forward Kylie Lorenzen. The third-leading scorer in the NE10 went 11-of-19 from the field. Senior guard Jennifer Shelp added 14 points, while junior guard Brianna Camara had 11 points and seven rebounds.
 
The Penmen, the fourth seed from the Northeast Division, scored 10 of the first 12 second quarter points to take a 32-24 lead into the locker room. Vanderwall had 10 of her points in the opening two periods, while Lorenzen totaled 10 first half points and was a rebound shy of a "double-double" at the break.
 
The hosts used 28 total offensive rebounds and 19-6 and 19-9 runs to take control. Saint Rose, which shot 23-for-49 (46.9 percent) from the field, responded with a 19-9 fourth period run of its own to make it a 67-62 game with 2:37 left. However, a pair of Lorenzen layups sandwiched around a Golden Knights turnover boosted the Southern New Hampshire advantage back to double-digits.
