Sharks Put Bite on Eagles, 59-46

Box Score

Sarah Clayton (East Falmouth, Mass.) notched a game high 22 points including three three-pointers to lead Simmons past host Daniel Webster, 59-46 Monday night.

The win halted a brief two game skid for the Sharks (7-10, 2-3 GNAC), as Simmons topped the Eagles for the fifth consecutive time.

Sarah Shea (Quincy, Mass.) led the Eagles (6-9, 1-4 GNAC) with 17 points including three treys, while Erin Moseley (Sterling, Mass.) added a double double with 14 points and game best 14 rebounds.

Lauren Kreckie (Braintree, Mass.) and Cassie Saikin (Littleton, N.H.) added seven points each for the Sharks.

Ashley Boyd chipped in with four points, six boards, two blocks and two steals for the Eagles.

The Eagles led by as many as three in the early going and held a 19-18 lead with 5:00 to play in the first after a Nicole Conley jumper, but a Clayton trey 23 seconds later and another with 3:28 left sparked a quick 8-0 spurt that gave the Sharks a lead they would not relinquish.

Trailing 31-24 at the break, the Eagles went cold from the field in the second half, knocking down 25% from the field and finished 29% on the night as Simmons would build a lead as large as 15 points.

Daniel Webster returns to action Wednesday with a visit to Pine Manor College for a 6:00 p.m. tip-off.
