Box Score Lakewood, N.J. - (2/3/2016) – Breaking out for a monster 21-point, 18-rebound double-double in this evening's Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) contest at Georgian Court University, junior forward Lauren Milligan (South Hampton, England) powered Chestnut Hill College to a 77-64 league triumph over the Lions. It is the third straight CACC win for the Griffins, who used a 52-30 rebounding advantage and a more efficient shooting effort (46.2%-32.4%) to overcome 21 turnovers in a season sweep of their South Division rival.
 
Chestnut Hill College (9-11, 7-6) led by one point at the end of the first quarter, 19-18, and by five points at halftime, 38-33 (0:05), on a last-possession layup from freshman forward Jaeda Wildgoose (Somerset, N.J.). In the second half, the Griffins developed a 10-point, 48-38 (3:30), third-quarter advantage, before expanding their lead to as many as 15 points, 77-62 (0:43), on a last-minute Milligan free throw. Sophomore forward Nicole Parriski (Burlington, N.J.) landed the Griffins first double-digit lead while junior forward Caity Kuhnen (Binghamton, N.Y.) and freshman guard Mary Trossi (Somerset, N.J.) joined in the mix to propel the Griffins to victory.
 
The unrelenting effort of Milligan eventually tired out the Lions, whose shooting efficiency dropped from 36.1% (13-of-36) in the opening period to 28.6 (10-of-35) in the second half. Still they placed four players in double figures including 20 points off the bench from freshman guard Jada Atchinson (Burlington, N.J.). Senior guard Alliyah Berger (Washington, D.C.) offered 11 point, nine rebounds, and four blocks, while sophomore guards Jaelyn Tweedy (Richmond, Va.) and Jess Placher (Cape Coral, Fla.) each contributed 10 points.
 
Milligan was 7-of-11 (.636) from the field and 7-of-11 (.636) at the free throw line in the first 20-point effort of her career. She set career highs in both scoring and rebounding while recording two assists, a block, and two steals. Junior guard Caity Kuhnen (Binghamton, N.Y.) continued her double-digit scoring streak to a tenth straight contest with 17 points. She hit all five (5-of-9, .556) of the Griffins three pointers (5-of-13, .632) and additionally offered six rebounds and three assists. Wildgoose was the third Griffin in double figures with 18 points. She also recorded nine rebounds, an assist, and a steal. Trossi finished with 12 points, four rebounds, five assists, and two steals.

The women's basketball team looks to continue their CACC winning streak at home on Saturday, February 3, when they host Caldwell University in a 1:00 p.m. contest.
