Box Score
Framingham, Mass. - Reserve guard Nicole Meyer (North Attleboro,
Mass.) drained all of her career-high 14 points in the second half
to spark Framingham State to a hard-earned 54-49 victory over
visiting Suffolk in a non-conference women's basketball contest on
Tuesday evening. With the win, Framingham State levels its
record at 8-8 while Suffolk dips to the 7-8 on the season.
With the score tied at 36-36, Meyer canned a 3-pointer to give
the host Rams an advantage they would not relinquish. The
freshman would help FSC stay ahead with two more 3's down the
stretch. Suffolk would claw back, nearly rallying from a late
nine-point deficit, but Framingham's Kia Minor (Oak Bluffs, Mass.)
blocked the potential game-tying 3-pointer and Toya Chester
(Leominster, Mass.) sealed the win with a pair of free throws with
0.2 seconds remaining.
Meyer, who connected on 4-of-5 shots from behind the 3-point
arc, shared game-best scoring honors with teammate Jill Johnson
(Mansfield, Mass.). The duo each poured in 14 points.
Chester filled the stat sheets with 11 points, 13 rebounds and four
assists while Minor came off the bench to add 10 points and seven
boards. Nicole McConaghy (Medford, Mass.) gobbled up 13
rebounds as well to help the hosts enjoy a 46-41 edge on the
glass.
Meghan Black (Roslindale, Mass.) paced the Suffolk attack with
12 points while Emily Forzano (Beacon, NY) chipped in with 11 and
Julianne Conrad (West Bridgewater, Mass.) contributed with nine
points, a team-high eight rebounds and a game-best five
steals. Point guard Jacqueline Vienneau (Salem, NH) led all
players with seven assists to go along with seven points for the
visiting Rams.
Framingham State plays its fourth contest of a five-game
homestand on Saturday when they host MASCAC rival Fitchburg State
at 1 p.m. Suffolk continues GNAC play on Thursday when they
travel to Mount Ida for a 6 p.m. matchup.
