Balanced Effort Carries Minutewomen to 74-55 Win at UNH
December 10, 2020 | Women's Basketball
Breen logs double-double, Philoxy finishes one assist short of double-double
DURHAM, N.H. – For the second straight game, University of Massachusetts women's basketball never trailed and, helped by four double-digit scorers, came away with a 74-55 victory over New Hampshire at Lundholm Gymnasium on Thursday night. It is the third straight win for the Minutewomen, who are now 4-1 on the season. UNH drops to 1-4.
Sam Breen led the way for Massachusetts with her second double-double of the season, logging game-highs of 17 points and 11 rebounds. Destiney Philoxy nearly matched the feat with 11 points and a career-high-tying nine assists, one short of her first collegiate double-double performance.
Â
Sydney Taylor added 17 points of her own and Maddie Sims rounded out the double-digit performances with 12 points in the win. Breen also handed out four dimes and Taylor recorded three steals.
Â
UNH kept the game within one possession early in the first quarter, only for the Minutewomen to close the period on a 11-3 run thanks to a 4-of-5 shooting line in the final three minutes, 34 seconds. Breen and Sims combined for 26 points in the frontcourt by halftime, posting a 12-of-17 line from the field. The duo, aided in part by Philoxy's five first-half assists, helped send Massachusetts into the break with a 48-26 lead.
Makennah White came off the bench to log eight points and eight rebounds. Angelique Ngalakulondi marked a return to her home state in the fourth quarter, as Ngalakulondi saw nearly five minutes of action and contributed two rebounds plus a block to help close out the victory.
Breen's aggressive play up against the UNH defense drew five Wildcat fouls on the night, three ending in the and-one variety. UMass dominated the glass with a 48-24 team advantage in rebounds.
Â
Massachusetts returns to game action on Sun., Dec. 13 in a 2 p.m. game vs. St. John's at the Mullins Center. Fans can watch the game both on ESPN+ and on NESN.
