Philadelphia, Pa. (1/13/18) The Dominican College women's basketball team fell to the University of the Sciences, 60-44, this afternoon in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) contest played in Bobby Morgan Arena.

With the win the Devils, currently ranked third in the D2SIDA East Region Poll, improves to 15-2 overall and 7-1 in conference play, while the Lady Chargers fall to 5-10 overall and 4-3 in the CACC.

The Lady Chargers recorded the game's only basket as Alpreshia Parker (Pocono Summit, Pa.) made a jump shot, but an 8-4 spurt put the Devils ahead, 8-6, with 3:25 remaining in the quarter. Back-to-back Devil treys extended their lead to 14-6 and a three-point bucket to end the quarter gave them an 17-10 advantage.

USciences netted the first eight points of the second frame to increase the lead to 25-10 with under five minutes remaining and the Lady Chargers closed out first half play on a 11-2, including a trey from Parker with one tick on the clock to cut the deficit to 27-21 at the intermission.

Parker finished with nine points and five rebounds, while Jasmine Gee (Englewood, N.J.) contributed eight points, five boards and two blocks.
