BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - After a cold-shooting first half for both sides, the UVM women’s basketball team used a 23-point third quarter to down Dartmouth 58-32. Delaney Richason led all scorers with 16, scoring 12 in the second half. Emma Utterback paced the Cats with 11 points in the first half, as UVM led 21-11 at the break. But it was the final two quarters where the switch flipped for UVM.
“We talked about penetrating the zone. We can’t shy away from getting inside and making dump passes and stuff like that,” Richason said of the halftime adjustments. “Even though they’re in zone, we have to be able to attack it like we attack man-to-man. I thought we shared the ball really well, I don’t know how many assists we had, but I’m sure it was impressive in the third quarter especially.”
BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - The UVM men’s basketball team made it 15 wins in a row over their rivals down I-89, but it wasn’t easy. The Cats utilized a 15-0 second half run to overcome an early deficit and down the Big Green 64-53 Wednesday night at Patrick Gym.
TJ Long and TJ Hurley led the way for the Cats, the only two UVM players to reach double figures in the win. Their offense helped supplement a big defensive effort in the second half, during which Vermont held Dartmouth to 22 points.
The Cats go to 6-2 on the year and will host Yale on Saturday.
