Women's Basketball Beaten By Sacred Heart

FAIRFIELD, CONN. --- The LIU Brooklyn women's basketball team completed its regular season road schedule with a 63-43 loss to the Sacred Heart Pioneers Monday evening at the William H. Pitt Center.

Senior DeAngelique Waithe recorded a double-double of 15 points and 13 rebounds while graduate transfer Denisha Petty-Evans and senior Stylz Sanders each chipped in 12 points for the Blackbirds (10-17, 6-10 NEC).

Sacred Heart (12-16, 8-9 NEC) built an 11-4 lead over the first five minutes of the game but were rebuffed by an 11-3 LIU run to close the period. The Pioneers fought back in the second quarter to outscore the Blackbirds, 14-10, and went into halftime with a 28-25 advantage. Sanders led LIU in scoring in each period, putting up seven in the first and five in the second to set a new season-high in only half a game's time.

A jumper by Petty-Evans and a pair of scores from Waithe to begin the second half gave the Blackbirds their largest lead of the game (31-28) with 6:44 left in the third. However, SHU tied the contest two more times over the next minute, went ahead by six (43-37) by quarter's end and pulled away from LIU with a 20-6 fourth period.

OTHER NOTES
  • Sanders shot 5-for-6 from the field and 2-for-2 from the line to surpass her 11-point effort at Mount St. Mary's on February 3. The five field goals also tied her season-best from the Mount St. Mary's game.
  • Waithe's double-double was her first since logging 12 points and ten boards against Robert Morris on February 10.
  • Junior Destoni Willock matched her season high in points with four. She also scored four points in LIU's win at NJIT on November 29.

NEXT UP
LIU will play the first of its final two home games on Friday, March 2 at 7 p.m. against Bryant.
