Raiders nip Monks

Rivier 70     Saint Joseph's - ME 66
 
The Raiders built an 8-point lead at the break and then held on for dear life as the Monks came back in the second half. SJC-ME took a 4 point lead with 2:46 left to play only to have Riv respond with clutch free throw shooting by junior Jess Mellen and a layup from freshman Allie Parent that tied the game. The Raiders iced the game at the charity stripe as they shot 86% for the game.
 
Riv was led by senior Justine Nims and junior Blair Carpenter's 16 points. The duo combined for 7 of the 10 3-pointers made for the Blue and Gray. Nims added 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. Carpenter, meanwhile, was tough as nails all night long on the defensive side of the ball. Junior Monica White sealed the win for Riv on the free throw line as she hit 5 huge freebies to help keep the game out of reach. White finished with 15 points, 5 rebounds and 4 steals. Junior Jess Mellen had a great all-around game. She chipped in with 10 points (4 for 4 from the charity stripe), 8 rebounds (5 offensive), 4 assists and 4 steals. Freshman Allie Parent had a game-high 8 assists to go with 5 rebounds.
