Wildgoose Earns First CACC Weekly Recognition with Honor Roll Appearance
New Haven, Conn. – (11/19/2018) – Senior forward Jaeda Wildgoose (Somerset, N.J.) was one of five players in double figures in last week’s 71-61 loss at Millersville University. The Scarlet and Gold captain offered her first double-double - 13 points, 14 rebounds – of the season to the Griffin effort, earning her a spot on this week’s Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Women’s Basketball Honor Roll. Wildgoose also provided an assist and two blocks in the contest.
Chestnut Hill College (0-3) held a slight 32-28 halftime edge thanks to an early second quarter run. The 9-2 stretch earned the Griffins a 24-20 advantage and enough leeway to sustain their lead over Millersville University (1-2) to intermission. Unfortunately, the Scarlet and Gold’s third quarter difficulties erased all their first-half good will. The Marauders outshot the Griffins 52.4% - 41.7% in the period and scored 13 points on a dozen (12) Chestnut Hill College turnovers; it allowed the home team to recover with an 11-0 run that tied the score at 41-41 (3:48) and afforded them a 44-41 lead with just over three minutes (3:19) remaining in the frame. Millersville University parlayed the three-point edge into an eight-point, 53-45, lead by the end of third quarter and extended their lead to as many as 13 points, 62-49 (5:28), midway through the fourth quarter. Chestnut Hill College mustered one last run at the Marauders, but the late Griffin run was only able to cut the deficit to just five points, 64-59, in the final minute (0:57) of play.
Wildgoose was highly effective in her 22 minutes on the court. She was 6-of-13 (.462) from the floor and 1-of-3 (.333) from the free throw line, while grabbing five offensive boards and nine defensive boards for a season-high 14 rebounds.
