Lakewood, N.J. - Things are hitting a slow simmer for the Georgian Court University women's basketball squad as the Lions landed its second-straight conference win Saturday afternoon with a 74-56 home triumph over Bloomfield College in Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference inter-divisional action.
GCU, now with four-straight wins over the Bears, improves to 5-8 (2-4 CACC) while Bloomfield (2-9, 0-3 CACC) still seeks its first conference "W".
Coming out of the intermission maintaining a 32-26 surplus, Georgian Court outpaced BC in the third quarter, 20-11, to take a commanding 15-point cushion (52-37) heading into the fourth-and-final frame. The Lions' advantage increased to a game-high 26 (72-46) after an
A'nya Harper three-point play with 3:22 left in regulation.
Fields, who is averaging 20.1 points-per-game in 10 games played, authored her fifth effort with 20+ points, draining a team-best 22 on the day. The sophomore connected on four of the Lions' five three-pointers, while also snaring 12 rebounds and dishing four helpers, for her second double-double of the season.
Tian Addison, playing all 40 minutes for the royal-and-gold, finished with 16 points and three assists.
Leighanna Lister contributed 15 points, seven boards, and a game-high five thefts in 36 total minutes.
DaShanique Ruffin (R-Jr, Paterson, N.J.) highlighted the Bloomfield box score with a double-double performance consisting of 15 points and 13 boards.
Myasia Jackson (R-So., Trenton, N.J.) topped the Bears with 16 points over 34 minutes.
Jaylah Bennett (Sr.-Newark, N.J.) added 10 points and a team-high four assists in the setback.
Georgian Court looks to stretch its streak to three-straight Tuesday afternoon when the Lions host Chestnut Hill College (10-3, 4-0 CACC) in a noontime matinee divisional clash.
