Medaille Sports

The Medaille College women’s basketball team completed their regular season sweep of the AMCC as they used a strong second half to run past Pitt-Greensburg (70-59) to finish AMCC play at (20-0).  The victory is the 13th straight for the Lady Mavs and it runs their record to (23-2) overall as they await a conference semifinal opponent that will be determined on Tuesday (2/23).  The first half was a nip and tuck affair that saw Medaille take a one point lead into the break.  The host Bobcats would connect on the first bucket of the second half to take a (35-34) lead before sophomore Meghan Dougherty (Buffalo, NY/Nichols)(pictured) would knock down a three pointer to give Medaille a (37-34) lead and they would not trail again.  The Lady Mavs would lead by as many as (18) points down the stretch en route to the victory.  The Lady Mavs were led by Dougherty who matched a career high with (18) points, she drained (5 of 10) three pointers on the day.  Turning in another brilliant performance was Kacie Mills (Buffalo, NY/Kenmore East) who dished out a career high (10) assists surpassing her previous best of (8), she also grabbed (5) boards and came up with (4) steals in the win.  Sophomore Tanisha Travis (Rochester, NY/Fairport) came off the bench to post (12) points on (4 of 7) shooting and pulled down (5) caroms along the way.  The Lady Mavs received a bye in the first round of the AMCC Tournament and will host the semifinals on Friday (2/26) at 1:00pm in the Sullivan Center.
