DeAngelo Eclipses 1,000 Career Points in Iona WBB’s Setback to Fairfield

NEW ROCHELLE, NY— Graduate student Sierra DeAngelo reached the 1,000-career points milestone on Saturday afternoon in the Iona University women's basketball team's 85-49 defeat to league-leading Fairfield at the Hynes Athletic Center.
 
Entering the game five points shy of the career-milestone, DeAngelo reached the mark with her layup at 7:12 of the third quarter for her second basket of the game and she went on to score a team high 13 points for the Maroon & Gold.

THE RUNDOWN

The high-powered Stags jumped out to a commanding 20-0 run through the first six minutes of the game. DeAngelo got the Gaels on the board with a turnaround at the 1:32 mark of the first quarter.
 
Fairfield built on its lead with a 16-9 scoring margin in the second quarter to take a commanding 39-11 lead into halftime. Graduate student Natalia Otkhmezuri recorded a pair of baskets and freshman Zoey Ward picked up an old fashioned three-point play for the Gaels in the second frame.
 
Iona struck first out of the break as sophomore Petra Oborilova connected on a three-point basket on the first possession of the third quarter. After trading points in the opening minute of the third, scoring slowed for the next two minutes. DeAngelo netted her milestone basket at the 7:12 mark of the quarter with a back down layup on the right block. From there both teams continued to go shot for shot in the frame, with both teams putting up 17 points in the final 7:13 of the third. Oborilova and sophomore Noa Givon each posted six points in the third for the Gaels.
 
A 25-17 margin in the final quarter gave Fairfield its 17th straight victory and the 85-49 victory for the regular season sweep over the Gaels.
