Women's Basketball Tripped Up at FDU-Florham

Madison, NJ – The Stevens Institute of Technology women's basketball team was clipped by FDU-Florham 63-59 in Middle Atlantic Conference Freedom action on Saturday.

Dorothy Loffredo paced Stevens (10-7, 4-2 MAC Freedom) with 16 points and eight rebounds, as Kolby Lynch had a game-high 22 points for FDU-Florham (6-11, 3-3 MAC Freedom).

HOW IT HAPPENED
The Ducks opened the game with nine of the first 12 markers, with Loffredo pumping in four points during the run. The junior knocked down a triple with 5:33 left in the first quarter, extending the Stevens' lead to nine at 14-5 before FDU answered with eight of the next 11 to get within four at 17-13. Stevens took a 19-13 advantage into the second, as Sugar Williams capped off the first quarter with two free throws.

Stevens began the second quarter with a 12-2 run to open up a 16-point lead. The Stevens defense, meanwhile, limited FDU to one field goal over the 5:48 of the second. During the run, Loffredo added four points, with Audrey Kehoe, Olivia Schubiger, Leyla Castro, and Fiona O'Boyle chipping in markers. FDU ended the opening with the final basket but trailed 35-21 entering the third period.

In the third stanza, the Devils mounted a comeback, notching the first seven points before Castro hit a three-pointer at the 7:29 mark to halt the run. A Schubiger jumper brought the score back to 10 at 44-34 before FDU used a 10-4 rally to make it a two-possession game. Loffredo netted the last three points of the third quarter, sending the Ducks into the fourth with a 51-44 lead.

FDU registered eight of the first 10 tallies of the fourth quarter, holding Stevens to two points over the first 3:33 while trimming the gap to one. Kehoe hit a layup to put Stevens up three before the home side recorded their first lead of the afternoon on a Shannon Tighe three-pointer. A Tighe free-throw made it 60-57 with 2:33 left, and Kehoe put back a Loffredo miss with 1:47 to go to make it 60-59 FDU. The Ducks had multiple chances for the lead but were unable to convert. A three-pointer to tie the game with four seconds left was missed, and FDU converted a free throw to seal the victory.
