Hartford, Conn. – Junior guard Kaitlin Ciarleglio (Waterbury, Conn.) made six three-pointers in as many attempts to lead all scorers with 18 points and added four rebounds and five assists to lead the Trinity College Bantams to a 71-60 win over the visiting Roger Williams University Hawks in women's basketball action this evening at Oosting Gymnasium.  Trinity, playing in just its fourth home game of the season and its first since December 9, improves to 12-5 with its first win in three games, while the Hawks drop to 12-4 and have their winning streak stopped at six games. 

Trinity never trailed, scoring the game's first seven points on a three-point play in the paint by senior tri-captain C/F Molly McGlynn (Sleepy Hollow, N.Y.) and a pair of layups by sophomore guard Carly Napier (Pittsford, N.Y.).  After the first of four three-pointers in four attempts by Hawk freshman Kaitlyn Bovee (Berlin, Conn.) got the visitors on the board at the 17:27 mark, Trinity used an 8-0 run to take a 15-3 lead with 13:44 left in the first half.  Roger Williams scored the next nine points to close within three at 15-12, before Trinity extended its advantage to double digits at 25-15 on a jumper by Napier with just under nine minutes on the clock.  Trinity led, 38-28, at the break and maintained at least a 10-point cushion for all but the opening moments of the second half.

Trinity shot 50 percent from the field (29-for-58), while Roger Williams was nearly as accurate at 48.8 percent (21-for-43).  Trinity held a slight edge on the boards, 31-25, and forced 19 turnovers.  Crisp on the offensive end until the final three minutes of the game, the Bantams recorded assists on 24 of 29 field goals and made seven three-pointers in12 tries.  Bantam freshman forward Shantel Hanniford (Nantucket, Mass.) came off the bench to tally 12 points, five rebounds, and three assists, while McGlynn finished with 11 points and four rebounds.  Napier notched nine points, five assists, and four steals, and senior tri-captain forward Rebecca Cohn (San Francisco, Calif.) tied Hanniford for the team lead on the glass with five boards.  Bovee and sophomore forward Alexandria Lanieri (Port Jefferson, N.Y.) paced the Hawks with 14 points apiece, while sophomore Elizabeth Kilzi (Waverly, Pa.) scored 13 points, and junior Ryan Weekes (Worcester, Mass.) added team-highs of eight rebounds and five assists.
