Chargers Prevail with 56-49 Win at Saint Rose

ALBANY, N.Y. – Behind the fourth double-double of the season for senior Micah Wormack (Cumberland, Md./Allegany), New Haven women's basketball prevailed for a key 56-49 win at Saint Rose on Wednesday evening. Wormack led all scorers with 18 points and 13 rebounds, while shooting 7-for-12 from the field and adding four steals. Freshman Aurora Deshaies (Syracuse, N.Y./Bishop Ludden) scored 14 points on 5-of-8 from the field to go with eight rebounds. Sophomore Camryn DeBose (Wellington, Fla./Wellington Community) tallied nine points and four rebounds, and junior Bionca Chambers (Bronx, N.Y./New Milford) chipped in seven points and five rebounds.

New Haven (16-7, 10-6 NE10) controlled the paint by a 30-8 margin. The Chargers also used a 37-24 edge on the glass to outscore the Golden Knights 14-4 on second chances. The Chargers also were a clutch 12-for-14 from the free throw line, including 6-for-6 in the final 38 seconds to help seal the victory.
