The New Jersey Institute of Technology women’s basketball team held visiting Georgian Court College to 23.3-percent shooting from the field in its 64-51 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference victory at Entwisle Gym on Saturday afternoon.
NJIT (4-5, 3-3), which snapped a three-game losing streak, raced out to a 31-20 halftime lead, keeping the Lions to just 17 percent shooting in the opening period. In the second half, Georgian Court three times cut the deficit to two points, the last occasion on a Lauren Meyer (Toms River, NJ) lay-up at the 7:35 mark.
From there, the Highlanders embarked on a 13-4 spurt to take a 60-47 lead with 2:05 remaining. Junior SchrKya Massey (South Orange, NJ/Columbia) keyed the run with three consecutive steals, all of which NJIT converted into baskets.
Massey led four Highlander double-figure scorers with 21 points and six steals, both game highs. Lindsey Reggo (Ridgefield, NJ/Ridgefield) had 11 points and seven rebounds for NJIT.
Alexis Jankowski (Middletown, NJ) paced Georgian Court (3-4, 1-4) with 15 points and nine boards.
