BIDDEFORD, Maine -- Abby Cavallaro dialed up 16 1st-quarter points as the University of New England raced out to a 34-6 cushion on the way to an 81-37 Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) women's basketball victory over Gordon College at Coach Beaudry's Court inside the Harold Alfond Forum on Wednesday evening (Feb. 16).

Triumphant in seven straight, the Nor'easters (16-8, 14-3 CCC) secure the second seed for the upcoming league championship before the regular-season finale on Saturday at Wentworth Institute of Technology (2-15 CCC).

For the contest, UNE established sizable margins scoring in the paint (30-10) and controlling the glass (52-28).

It was 47-14 in favor of the Nor'easters by halftime, with the hosts tallying 23 points off 11 Gordon turnovers while limiting the visitors to a mere 17 percent shooting accuracy (4-of-23). The 34 points scored in the opening frame was UNE's highest single-quarter production of the season, by six.
