Moseley, Chagan Guide Daniel Webster Past Mitchell 92-76
Nashua - The duo of senior Erin Moseley (Sterling, Mass.) and freshman Joyce Chagan (Boothbay Harbor, Maine) combined for 59 points with Moseley knocking down 31 and Chagan adding 28 guiding host Daniel Webster past Mitchell, 92-76 in a preview of New England Collegiate Conference rivals Wednesday night at Vagge Gymnasium.
Both squads will join the newly formed NECC next season.
Moseley added 13 rebounds for the double double and went 12 of 20 from the field and Chagan dished out eight assists going 12 of 18 from the field as the Eagles (10-14) halted a nine-game slide with the victory.
Jennifer Iglesias (Waterbury, Conn.) led the Pequots (5-19) in their season finale with a 25-point, six-assist effort, while Julie Graham (Waterbury) added 14 points and Brittany Smyth (Winsted, Conn.) chipped in with 13 including four three pointers.
Ashley Boyd (Hanson, Mass.) just missed a double double for the Eagles with eight points and 12 boards.
The Eagles won the game in the paint, finishing with an overwhelming 60-27 advantage on the glass (44 defensively) and outscored the Pequots 50-26 under the boards.
DWC sizzled in the first half, shooting 60% from the field while Mitchell shot 29%. The Eagles opened with a 18-6 run over 5:02 keyed by four layups from Moseley. The lead grew to as large as 16 and the Eagled led 46-31 at the break.
Chagan and Moseley continued their hot hands in the second and a Moseley layup made it a 65-43 lead with 12:58 to play.
Mitchell answered with a quick 12-4 run keyed by three straight jumpers from Iglesias and a three pointer from Marjorie Oliviera (Waterbury) for a 69-55 game with 8:49 to go.
But Sarah Shea (Quincy, Mass.) followed with a three to quell the Pequot rally and the Eagles did not let Mitchell closer than 12 over the closing minutes.
With her 31 points, Moseley inched closer to the Daniel Webster all-time scoring record. She now stands 17 points short of tying Sheryl Arduino's (2001) 1,404 career points with one game remaining.
Shea, who finished with seven points, moved into seventh place all time on the Eagle scoring leader board.
The Eagles close out their 2007-08 campaign Saturday as they host Lasell in their final GNAC contest tipping off at 1:00 p.m.
