Women battle #1 NYU on Senior Day in 89-58 loss

WALTHAM, Mass. – The Brandeis University women's basketball team celebrated its Senior Day before the contest, but top-ranked NYU extended its winning streak to 66 in a row with an 89-58 win in Red Auerbach Arena in the regular-season finale for both teams

TEAM RECORDS
  • Brandeis, 12-13, 5-9 University Athletic Association.
  • NYU, 25-0, 14-0 UAA, Ranked #1 in Division III by D3hoops.com and the WBCA.
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • While Brandeis grad student Elena Delicado (Madrid, Spain/IES Parque de Lisboa) scored the first bucket of the game, NYU scored the next eight points of the contest, and the Violets never looked back.
  • NYU outscored the Judges in all four quarters, shooting over 50 percent from the floor in each of the first three periods and better than 40% from 3-point range in all four stanzas.
  • Brandeis's 58 points against the Violets was their second-highest total in the past three seasons, but it wasn't enough against the visitors' offensive firepower and stifling defensive pressure.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • Brandeis senior Lulu Ohm (Waltham, Mass./Waltham) led the team in scoring with 13 points.
  • Ohm finished the season leading the UAA in scoring average at 18.2 points per game, while her 456 points during the campaign were the second-most in a single season in school history.
  • Ohm finished just 27 points behind Danielle Fitzpatrick '04's record,  set in 2004 in 27 games. Her 18.2 points per game is the second-highest single-season average, behind Jenny Artman '84 in 1984.
  • Ohm's 724 career points rank 24th all-time in Brandeis history.
  • Juniors Katherine Vaughan (Bedford, Mass./Bedford) and Brooke Reed (Chantilly, Va./Westfield) each scored eight points, a season-high for Reed.
  • Senior Caitlin Gresko (Howell, N.J./Howell) scored seven points and grabbed a team-high five rebounds. She finishes her career in a tie for 20th on the Judges' all-time scoring list with 845 points.
  • Ohm and Delicado led the Judges with three assists each.
  • NYU put four starters in double figures in scoring. Caroline Peper led all players with 21 points, hitting 8-of-15 overall and 5-of-11 from 3-point range.
  • Natalie Bruns stuffed the stat sheet for the Violets, finishing three rebounds shy of a triple double. She had 17 points, 10 assists and seven boards, and added two blocked shots and two steals for good measure.
  • Jamie Behar added 16 points and Brooke Batchelor had 10 while matching Bruns with seven rebounds.
  • NYU shot 54% from the field for the game (36-67) including 46% from 3-point range (15-33), and they held the Judges to 39% overall (22-57) and 18% from downtown (3-17).
  • Brandeis owned a slim 33-32 rebounding edge over the Violets, but that was offset by an 18-10 turnover margin that the visitors converted into 26 points to just 4 for the home team.
  • Despite the loss, the Judges showed a seven-game improvement over last season, winning four more UAA games than in the previous campaign.
