Express Steam Ahead Phoenix

AURORA, N.Y. - The Wilson college women's basketball team lost in conference action against the Wells College Express. The Express (7-14, 6-6 NEAC) defeated the visiting Phoenix ( 9-12, 4-8 NEAC) by a final score of 62-48.

Then junior Jordyn Day (Richmond, Va) added a three-pointer to the Phoenix count. The Express rolled along and established a 7 point lead going into the second quarter. The Phoenix made some strong plays to pull within just 1 point of their opponents. Junior Kristen Burdo (Norristown, Pa.) scored on a fast break after a rebound from junior Ashley Henderson (Upper Marlboro, Md.). Henderson and Day went on to score enough to put the Phoenix within 2 point of their opponents 26-28 at the half.

Freshman Michaela Singer (Annville, Pa.) landed a lay-up assisted by senior Lindsey Purvis (Fort Myers, Fl). After that the Express established a 12 point lead going into the fourth quarter 45-33.
