Raiders have 5-game win streak halted

Rivier 81        Emmanuel 96

Riv took on top-ranked conference opponent Emmanuel College and came up on the wrong side of a 15-point game. The 96 points were the most the Raiders have given up all season. Riv went on a 5-0 run early in the second half to know the game up at 48. The Raiders continued to keep the game within 4-5 points but the Saints picked up their defensive pressure which resulted in an 8-0 Emmanuel run. That run, and 13 missed free throws, accounted for the final score.
 
Riv was led by a career performance from freshman Allie Parent. Parent dropped in 28 points (on 9 for 11 from the field) to go with a team-high 4 assists. Junior Jess Mellen picked up another double-double as she had 13 points and 10 rebounds (5 offensive). Junior Monica White played a solid all-around game as she tallied 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Junior Blair Carpenter did a little bit of everything as she finished with 9 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. Freshman Danielle Stoodley gave huge minutes off the bench. She chipped in with 9 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals.
