BOX SCORE POSTGAME INTERVIEW WITH JOE HAIGH & KELLEY DOOGAN

LORETTO, Pa. (Feb. 25, 2013) – Paced by a career-night from Kelley Doogan (Claymont, Del./Ursuline Academy), the Saint Francis University women's basketball team scored a season-high 100 points and beat Fairleigh Dickinson, 100-89, at DeGol Arena on Monday evening.

Doogan finished with a career-high 35 points, shattering her previous record of 14 to lead the Red Flash (15-12, 10-6). Erika Livermore posted a 36 point, 17 rebound night to lead the Knights (11-16, 6-10). SFU's 100 point game was the first triple-digit game in the Northeast Conference since 2010.

“I was just feeling it tonight,” SFU senior Kelley Doogan (Claymont, Del./Ursuline Academy) said. “A lot of us were feeling under the weather and it was our job as a bench to step up.”

Saint Francis hit a record-high 17 three-pointers in the game. Doogan hit eight of them, tying another SFU record for triples in a game. The senior shot 11-16 from the field and 8-12 from beyond the arc. Aisha Brock (Jacksonville, Fla./Potter's House Christian Academy) also set a new career-high with 13 points and knocked down three triples. Nickia Gibbs (Greenbelt, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt) posted a double-double with 14 points and a career-high 10 assists.

“It was great to our players step up tonight,” SFU head coach Joe Haigh said. “Everyone was hitting shots, and when we are knocking down three-pointers like that we are tough to beat.”

It was Fairleigh Dickinson who took a 12-0 lead to start the game and led the majority of the first half. Saint Francis took their first lead with 9:08 to play after a lay-up from Gibbs. SFU caught fire and scored 24 points in the final nine minutes to finish with 48 first-half points, tying a season-high.

SFU took a double-digit lead with 18:39 to play and led by at least 10 for the majority of the second half. FDU got the margin to single digits
with 7:40 to play, but the Flash again hit shots to pull away.

Saint Francis will make its final road trip of the season as they travel to Bryant for a 1 p.m. tip-off on Saturday.
