BROOKLYN, N.Y. — First-year Phaedra Michaelides (Kavala, Greece) grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds, but the Pratt Institute women's basketball team dropped its home opener to the University of Mount Saint Vincent, 90-29, on Monday evening at the Activity Resource Center.

Three different Cannoneers finished with double-digit rebounds in a strong effort on the glass. Michaelides added eight points and two blocks to her impressive rebounding total for Pratt (0-3). The visiting Dolphins (1-0) were led by 22 points from Grace Kennedy.

Mount Saint Vincent built an early lead, taking a 48-12 advantage into the halftime break.

Despite the result, Pratt held its own on the boards, nearly matching the Dolphins with a final rebound tally of 49-48. Joining Michaelides in double figures were junior Anabela Jakelic (Zagreb, Croatia) and senior Emily Carlson (Utica, N.Y.), who each pulled down 11 rebounds.

Jakelic was efficient from the floor, scoring eight points on 4-of-6 shooting while adding two blocks and a steal. Carlson led the team with three assists to go along with her 11 boards.

Sophomore Dahlia Dimitrov (Montreal, Canada) chipped in with six points, two assists, and a block.

Kennedy was one of two players in double-figure scoring for the Dolphins, with Mackenzie Green adding 16 points.

The Cannoneers continues a three-game homestand this week on Thursday, November 12, hosting Medgar Evers College for a 7 p.m. tip-off at the Activity Resource Center.
