Rivier 80 Mt. Ida 75
Rivier (12-5; 4-1) was able to build a big enough halftime lead to
then hold off Mt. Ida's second half surge. The Raiders held the
Mustangs to 27 points in the opening stanza and took a 15-point
lead into the break. The Mustangs stormed back to cut the lead to 3
points with under a minute left in regulation. Riv made enough free
throws at the end of the game, including 2 clutch freebies from
senior Justine Nims with 8 seconds to go, to pull
out the victory.
Riv was led by a game-high 25 points from junior Blair
Carpenter. Carpenter had a solid all-around game as she
added 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 steals. Freshman Allie
Parent had another monster game with 15 points, 6
rebounds, 9 assists and 4 steals. Junior Monica
White played extremely well as she chipped in with 12
points, 4 rebounds and just 1 turnover in 31 minutes of action.
Sophomore Steph Adams played huge off the bench as
she tallied 8 points and pulled down a team-high 10 rebounds.
