Waterbury, Conn. - In a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) women's basketball contest bumped up a day due to impending snow in the northeast, Post University put the Lions on ice Friday afternoon with a 79-67 home win over its inter-divisional foe.

After trading surpluses for a majority of the first period of play, the Eagles (11-4, 5-2 CACC) took a lead they would not relinquish when a pair of free throws from Tai Pagan (So.-New London, Conn.) provided Post with a 20-18 lead at the 3:00 mark of the frame. 

The hosts closed out the first half with a comfortable 12-point cushion at 45-32 and never saw its lead dip below double-digits the rest of the way, growing its advantage to a game-high 21 points (69-48) with 5:52 remaining.

Sha'Raya Haines (Jr.-Springfield, Mass.), shooting 8-of-19 from the floor and 8-of-10 at the charity stripe, topped all players with 27 points in the triumph. The aforementioned Pagan finished a rebound shy of a double-double with nine boards and 16 points while Kiera Fernandes (So.-Franklin, Mass.) closed the day with 15 points.

Tian Addison, in 28 minutes off the Georgian Court bench, poured in a team-best 15 points to complement her six assists. Anyssa Fields (six assists) and Leighanna Lister (eight rebounds) each netted 13 points apiece for the royal and gold. Ivona Krakic compiled 10 points, eight rebounds, and four rejections in her 27 minutes.

GCU (6-10, 3-6 CACC) returns to divisional play on Tuesday with a 5:30 p.m. visit to the University of the Sciences. The Lions dropped a 74-68 decision to the Devils back on Dec. 4 in the Wellness Center Arena.
