WORCESTER, Mass. – Facing the No. 11 team in the country it would be a tall order for the New Haven women's basketball team (2-3, 0-3 NE10) as they dropped a 70-41 decision to the Assumption Greyhounds on Wednesday night at Laska Gymnasium.

Leading the Chargers on the evening was sophomore Lindsay Hogan (Bayville, N.Y./Locust Valley) who finished with 13 points, the only player in double figures for New Haven. She would close out the night shooting 5-of-13 from the field, with three of those buckets coming from outside the three point arc. In addition she added three assists and a pair of rebounds.

Joining her in leading the scoring efforts were a pair of players off the bench as junior transfer Nayeli Dowding (Baldwin, N.Y./Baldwin) and freshman Eveani Okwusa finished with eight and six points, respectively. Both finished with three buckets on the night, with Dowding leading the duo going 3-of-6 with one from outside the arc and adding 1-of-2 at the free throw line.

As a team, New Haven finished the night shooting 30 percent overall, connecting on 18-of-60 field goal attempts, with four of those from long range. The Chargers did win the battle of the boards with a slight 34-33 advantage, led by graduate post player Aurora Deshaies (Syracuse, N.Y./Bishop Ludden) who was finished with a dozen rebounds which she added to six points. Dowding followed her with five rebounds, as seven of the nine Chargers who saw time pulled down at least one rebound.
