LOWELL, Mass.<\/strong> \u2013 Hitting 10 three-pointers and outrebounding their foes 54-28, UAlbany cruised past UMass Lowell 87-50 at the Costello Athletic Center for its fourth-straight victory.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a phenomenal first half team defense tonight,\u201d said UAlbany head coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 \u201cI loved that we crashed the boards with 23 offensive rebounds, with Tammy Phillip<\/a><\/strong> grabbing 19 rebounds today to lead our post players, and our team dished out 24 assists.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Shereesha Richards<\/a><\/strong> earned her 10th<\/sup> double-double of the year and fifth in her last sixth games for UAlbany (13-3, 3-0 AE) with 23 points and 10 rebounds.\u00a0 Erin Coughlin<\/a><\/strong> earned a career-high six three-pointers on eight attempts and five assists.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cErin [Coughlin] did a great job getting open and knocking down her threes,\u201d said Abrahamson-Henderson.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both Tammy Phillip<\/a><\/strong> and Margarita Rosario<\/a><\/strong> nearly had double-doubles.\u00a0 Phillip grabbed a career-high 19 rebounds with eight points, while Rosario had nine points and seven assists.<\/span><\/p>\n

For UMass Lowell (2-13, 1-3 AE), Lindsay Doucette had 14 points, six rebounds and four blocks.\u00a0 Shannon Samuels added 12 points and six assists.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Great Danes found their mark against the UMass Lowell zone defense to begin, firing away from beyond the arc.\u00a0 Coughlin knocked down a couple of threes, followed by Rosario three from a kick out as UAlbany led early 14-6 by the first media.<\/span><\/p>\n

The defense held down UMass Lowell with pressure on the zone and in the full court.\u00a0 Coughlin hit a couple more threes as UAlbany held UMass Lowell without points for a span of four minutes, building a 25-8 advantage after 12 minutes elapsed.<\/span><\/p>\n

UMass Lowell broke the drought with baskets from Shannon Samuels and Melissa Frase, but UAlbany countered with a 12-0 run, helped by threes from Rosario and Sarah Royals<\/a><\/strong>, to go up 37-12 at the final first half media.\u00a0 UAlbany led 40-15 at halftime.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second half started on a furious pace, with each side trying to get fastbreak chances.\u00a0 After going back and forth to start, UMass Lowell went on a 7-0 run to get to 54-30 UAlbany.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Great Danes struck back by attacking the paint in transition.\u00a0 Helped by a couple of jumpers from Richards, UAlbany surged forward on a 24-6 run, including five-straight points from Megan Craig<\/a><\/strong>, to build the advantage to 78-36 with 6:52 left.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Purple and Gold saw Jessica F\u00e9qui\u00e8re<\/a><\/strong> and Zakiya Saunders<\/a><\/strong> hit shots down the stretch as UAlbany finished with the 87-50 win.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was excited to see a lot of our younger players get a chance to play and gain some experience,\u201d said Abrahamson-Henderson.<\/span><\/p>\n

UAlbany returns to SEFCU Arena on Saturday for its America East home opener, taking on Maine at 2 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
