Stephanie McBride Posts Another Double-Double But Women's Basketball Tripped Up At Felician

Rutherford, N.J.-The University of Bridgeport women's basketball team got off to a good start leading host Felician University, 14-11, after the first quart and outscored the hosts, 25-22, in the fourth quarter, but the Golden Falcons prevailed in the middle two quarters to come away with a 69-59 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference win over the Purple Knights on Saturday afternoon in the Garden State.  UB is now 9-17 overall and 5-12 in conference play.  Felician moves to 10-12 overall and 7-8 in the CACC.

Senior Stephanie McBride (Brooklyn, N.Y.) led the Purple Knights with a double-double of game highs in both scoring and rebounding of 22 points and 18 rebounds.  Those 18 boards tie her 2022-23 season-high in that category.  Stephanie also had three steals and blocked one shot on Saturday.

McBride was joined in doible figures by freshman Niyah Whitten (Bloomfield, N.J.), who netted 10 points in her home state.

Up next, the UB women's basketball team closes out its '22-23 season at Bloomfield College on Tuesday night.  Tip-time is set for 5:30 p.m.
