CHICOPEE, Ma. — Elms College junior forward Danielle Dugre (Holyoke, MA) scored a team-high 11 points, but Thomas College held the Blazers to just three points in the final 8:20 en route to posting a 72-48 win in Sunday afternoon’s North Atlantic Conference (NAC) game at the Maguire Center.

The Blazers lost their fourth straight game to fall to 2-8 overall, 2-5 NAC. Thomas College won its second straight to improve to 5-6 overall, 4-1 NAC.

Sophomore forward Tammy Fowler (Rochester, NH) and freshman guard Samantha Davis (Perry, ME) scored 24 and 23 points respectively for the Terriers, who outscored the Blazers 21-3 in the final 8:20.

Following an 11-0 run that gave the Terriers a 37-26 lead late in the first half, the Blazers used a 5-0 run to pull to within 37-31 at intermission.

From there, however, the Blazers committed 16 second half turnovers and were limited to six field goals.
