SCSU Women's Basketball Defeats SNHU, 62-58, As Kate Lynch Gets Win No. 100

MANCHESTER, N.H.  – Southern Connecticut women's basketball defeated Southern New Hampshire, 62-58, in a Northeast 10 Conference battle in Manchester, N.H. The win also stood as Owls' head coach Kate Lynch's 100th career win as Southern's head coach. Southern improved to 11-7 overall and 6-6 in NE10 play.

Delaney Haines (Portland, Me.) came off the bench to scored a team-high, and career-high, 17 points, while converting on 5-of-6 from three-point range. Isabella Santoro (Durham, Conn.) had 11 points while Delaney Connors (West Hartford, Conn.) turned in a 10-point, five-rebound night, with three assists.

Southern New Hampshire opened the game with an 8-3 run to take a five-point lead with 5:17 to go in the first quarter. Southern canned three-straight three-point shots in a 9-4 scoring binge to tie it at 12-12, with Haines accounted for a pair of shots from long range. She would add another one with just under two minutes to play to power the Owls to a 17-15 lead to end the first.

After a back-and-forth to start the second quarter, and with SCSU holding a 20-18 lead, the Owls powered their way to a 12-point lead at halftime, 37-25, with a 17-7 run, as seven different Owls scored, while Zoe Amalbert rallied for five points.

After a Haines three-pointer midway through the third gave the Owls their largest lead of the game of 16 points, 46-30, the Owls cooled off as the Penmen took off on a 12-6 run to cut into Southern's lead as the Owls would end the quarter with a 50-42 advantage.

Both teams played even through most of the fourth quarter before a late eight-point run by Southern New Hampshire tied the game at 58-58 with thirty-nine seconds to play. Connors gave the Owls the lead after she converted on a jumper after a pair of Penmen free throws before Santoro converted on a pair of free throws to give Southern a four-point lead.

For Lynch, her 100th win at Southern comes in her seventh year at the helm as she joins the elite grouping of Joe Frager and Tony Barone as the only three women's basketball coaches in SCSU history to win 100 games. Including two seasons as Molloy's head coach, she now has 125 for her career.

Southern returns to New Haven to host Bentley in a Northeast 10 Conference matchup on Saturday, Jan. 28 at 1:30 p.m. at James Moore Field House.
