WBB: Cook records double-double in setback at Southern Maine

 

GORHAM, Maine – The Plymouth State University women's basketball team was defeated by the University of Southern Maine, 68-46, in a Little East Conference (LEC) game at Warren G. Hill Gymnasium on Wednesday afternoon.

After a low-scoring first quarter the Huskies put up 21 points in the second to build a double-digit lead they would not relinquish. The Panthers, playing for the first time in nearly three weeks, closed out the third quarter to pull within 12, but Southern Maine bunkered down to secure the conference win.

Senior Jalen Cook (Monkton, Vt.) led the way with 12 points and 10 rebounds, while freshman Sophie George (Meredith, N.H.) added a team-high 14 points in the losing effort. Junior Sabrina Vlahovic (New Hope, Pa.) brought down ten rebounds for the Panthers.
