Box Score Philadelphia, Pa. - (2/6/2016) – Winners of their last three Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) contests, Chestnut Hill College fell victim to a more productive Caldwell University squad in a fast-paced contest that ended in the Cougars' favor, 85-65. Five of them finished in double figures, overshadowing a 21-point effort from freshman forward Jaeda Wildgoose (Somerset, N.J.) and double-digit performances from freshman guard Mary Trossi (Somerset, N.J.) and junior guard Caity Kuhnen (Binghamton, N.Y.).   
      
Caldwell University (17-7, 12-3) forged their advantage early, establishing an eight-point lead at the end of the first quarter, 27-19, and doubling the difference to 16 points, 46-30, by halftime. Sophomore guard Kristen Drogsler (Middle Village, N.Y.) was their weapon of choice, shooting 7-of-13 (.538), with two three pointers (2-of-3, .667), and a free throw (1-of-2, .500) to net 17 points at the game's midway point. Countering her efforts was Trossi, who worked her way to the basket for nine points in the opening half.
 
Despite a 50% (14-of-28, .500) shooting effort in the second half, Chestnut Hill College (9-12, 7-7) was not able to close the gap. In fact, the Cougars advanced their lead to as many as 20 points, 58-38, just before the three-minute mark (3:06) of the third quarter and maxed out their lead at 22 points, 77-55, with 5:37 remaining in the fourth quarter. Wildgoose recorded 13 of her 21 points in the second half, but it was not enough to derail the Cougars, who eventually captured a 20-point victory, 85-65.
