 SMITH RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Felician College rode 18 points and 12 rebounds from senior forward Dee Dee Smith (Monticello, NY/Monticello) to a 67-61 non-conference women’s basketball victory over visiting Mercy College on Saturday afternoon at Job Gymnasium.
A jump shot by Shannon Gilmartin (Port Monmouth, NJ/Mater Dei) with eight minutes, 40 seconds, left in the game gave Felician (2-7) its first lead since the opening minutes at 50-49. The shot came in the midst of a 10-0 Golden Falcons run which turned a five-point deficit into five-point edge at the 6:40 mark. A three-point field goal by Mercy’s Jazmin Steele (Stoughton, MA/Stoughton) cut her team’s seven-point disadvantage to 59-55 at 3:50, but Janelle Biamonte (Secaucus, NJ/Marist) made a three 10 seconds later to keep the Mavericks at bay. |
