Dollard Named CDC Alumni Association Player of the Game

ALBANY - The College of Saint Rose cut a double-digit halftime deficit to a single-point before falling 75-66 to visiting No. 10/17 Bentley in Northeast-10 Conference action this afternoon
 
The Golden Knights (10-5/3-5 NE10), which had their six-game winning streak snapped, put three players in double figures.

Senior guard Ashley Vanderwall added a dozen points, while junior guard Courtney Clasen finished with 10.
 
Senior guard Amy McConnell topped Bentley (14-2/8-1 NE10), the national leaders in three-point field goal percentage, with 18 points, including 10 in the final quarter. She grabbed eight rebounds and sank nine foul shots. Junior guard Julia Ford chipped in with 11 points.

The Golden Knights battled back in the third quarter to trail 54-49 entering the final period. After junior guard Cameron Graupman knocked down a pair of foul shots, Bentley led by one, 54-53, with 8:35 remaining.
