COACH'S QUOTE
"This group showed up with the mindset of playing hard from the tip and I thought that set the tone for us," Mayer Head Women's Basketball Coach Alisa Kresge said. "Always nice when perimeter shots are falling, and teammates are finding each other. Makes for good team basketball."
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • New Hampshire scored the first two points of the game before Vermont went on an 11-2 run capped by a Delaney Richason three with 3:04 remaining in the opening quarter to seize and 11-4 lead, a lead they would never relinquish. Richason connected on two threes while Emma Utterback and Keira Hanson each added a layup for the Catamounts.
  • The Wildcats narrowed the deficit over the end of the quarter and a Bella Stuart free throw with 9:16 remaining in the second quarter cut the Vermont lead to 13-9.
  • Vermont responded with a quick 12-4 run of their own over the next four minutes of action to gain a 25-13 lead. Richason dropped in two more threes while Anna Olson chipped in four during the run for Vermont.
  • New Hampshire came back with a 7-4 run to cut the score to 29-20 with 2:22 remaining in the second quarter following a pair of Stuart free throws.
  • The Catamounts would counter with an 8-1 spurt to close out the first half with a 37-21 lead. Matic knocked down back-to-back threes during the run to begin her big night.
  • Vermont scored the first five points of the second half, and another Matic three with 8:46 doubled up New Hampshire 42-21.
  • The Wildcats would not go away quietly, responding with an 11-2 run of their own to close the score to 44-32 with 5:10 remaining in the third quarter. Stuart had five during the span to lead New Hampshire.
  • Vermont again had an answer, finishing the last five minutes of the third quarter on a 15-0 run to all but put the game away and take a commanding 59-32 lead into the fourth quarter. Matic hit two more three's during the span while Olson added four and Hanson knocked in a three of her own.
  • To begin the fourth quarter Maggie Cavanaugh knocked down a three pointer to stem the tide for the Wildcats.
  • However, Paula Gonzalez answered with a corner three of her own on the other end to push Vermont's lead to 62-35 with 7:39 remaining in the game.
  • The two teams battled back-and-forth over the next three plus minutes to a 4-4 draw following a Nikola Priede with 4:16 remaining in the game.
