SCSU Women's Basketball Comes From Behind To Defeat New Haven, 67-53

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Southern Connecticut women's basketball charged past New Haven, 67-53, for its third-straight win in a Northeast-10 Conference matchup at James Moore Field House. The Owls improved to 14-10 overall and 11-7 in the NE10 while New Haven dropped to 7-15 overall and 3-15 in conference play.

Katie Williamson led all scorers with 20 points, hitting 7-of-11 from the floor and 6-of-6 from the free throw line, with nine rebounds and two blocks. Makenzie Helms accounted for 16 with seven assists and two steals while Hope Fox had 13 first half points and seven rebounds. Rheyna Steinauer had eight points and eight rebounds with two blocks off the bench while Delaney Haines had seven points and two blocks.

Southern trailed by as many as 15 points in the first quarter, 20-5, as they hit just 3-of-14 from the field while New Haven was scorching hot out of the gate. The Owls cooled New Haven with a 10-0 run to pull within five, 20-15, with 8:22 to go in the second quarter, thanks to a pair of buckets by Delaney Haines and three's from Rheyna Steinauer and Julianna Bonilla. New Haven responded with a 9-2 run to push its lead to 12 points, 29-17, with 4:42 to go in the half, but Southern outscored the Chargers, 13-6, in the closing minutes before the break to send the game into the half with New Haven leading, 35-30.

Southern continued to battle to open the third quarter before taking a 43-42 lead on a Hope Fox layup with 4:02 to go in the quarter. The teams played back and forth over the next four minutes before Makenzie Helms' layup at the buzzer tied the game, 52-52. Helms had nine points in the third quarter alone. In the fourth, Southern outscored New Haven, 15-1, with Katie Williamson pouring in 10 of the Owls' points with Helms accounting for the other five.

In total, the Owls outscored New Haven 60-43 after the first quarter and 37-18 in the second half of a tied game. New Haven's one point in the fourth quarter was a season-low points allowed by the Owls.

Helms has been heating up over the Owls last seven games, in which Southern is 5-2, with 15.4 points and 3.4 assists per game. Williamson has averaged 12 points and 7.9 rebounds during the same stretch while Hope Fox has averaged 12.5 points and 8 rebounds in her last two outings.

Southern returns to action this weekend when it travels to Colchester, Vt. to take on Saint Michael's in a Northeast-10 Conference matchup at 1 p.m. The Owls now stand two game up in the NE10 standings in fifth place, which would secure them a first-round NE10 Tournament game on Friday, Mar. 1
