QUEENS, NY – Senior guard Anna Bryce posted a double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds, while registering a team-high four assists, as Pratt Institute women's basketball team toppled the Warriors of Vaughn College 42-32 in non-conference action at the Elmcor Gym on Friday evening.
"We didn't shoot the ball very well tonight, but we still found a way to win," commented head coach Sade Jackson. "Every single person did their job and contributed. Every time Vaughn got a little momentum, we struck back. This will be the toughest environment we'll play in all year and we stuck together and came out with a win."
Despite the offensive struggles, the Cannoneers' defense proved to be the difference, holding the Warriors to just 26 percent shooting, including allowing just one three-pointer on 23 attempts. Pratt outrebounded Vaughn by a 49-39 margin, highlighted by Idalia Kaplan's team-leading 11.
Cannoneer Highlights:
- Freshman Kathy Neblett had a solid outing in her first collegiate game, posting eight points and five rebounds
- AimeeLyn Miller shot 60 percent (3-5) from the field
Game Notes:
- Head coach Sade Jackson improves to 3-0 against the Warriors
- Including tonight, Pratt has defeated Vaughn in the past seven meetings
