Trossi Season-High Scores CACC Women’s Basketball Weekly Honor Roll Selection
New Haven, Conn. - (2/5/2018) – Junior guard Mary Trossi (Somerset, N.J.) scored a season-high 21 points to lead Chestnut Hill College to their 10th Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) win of the season – a 75-64 win at Goldey-Beacom College on Tuesday, January 30. For her effort, Trossi was recognized as a member of the CACC Women’s Basketball Weekly Honor Roll for the first time this season.
Chestnut Hill College (14-8, 10-3) spread the ball around in the first half as Trossi (8 points) penetrated, junior forward Jaeda Wildgoose (Somerset, N.J.) rebounded (9 points, 7 rebounds), and sophomore forward Shannon Glenn (Philadelphia, Pa.) (8 points) connected from the outside for a 38-26 halftime advantage. After intermission, Trossi and Glenn led the Griffins’ parade to the free throw line; the former hit 7-of-9 (.778) and the latter 6-of-6 (1.000) in a 19-of-21 Scarlet and Gold effort that cemented the league victory over Goldey-Beacom College (6-15, 4-8).
The Griffins’ ability to get to the free throw line and convert was the difference in the contest as the Scarlet and Gold made 22-of-25 (.880) charity stripe attempts in comparison to the Lightning’s 3-of-8 (.278) showing. Trossi was 7-of-10 (.700) from the free throw line and 7-of-15 (.467) from the field en route to her 21 points. She complimented her scoring with five rebounds, two assists, and two steals.
The Chestnut Hill College women’s basketball team returns to action next Wednesday, February 7, when they host CACC South Division rival, Georgian Court University in a 6:00 p.m. Play-4-Kay event.
