Women's Basketball: Knights Continue to Roll After 2-0 Weekend

Rosedale, Md. -- The No. 10 ranked Knights continued their domination this past weekend as they bested Potomac State 100-71 on Saturday and took down Community College of Beaver County yesterday 103-46, returning home for the first time in nearly one month. 

CCBC Essex is now 10-1 overall and 2-0 in Region XX Division II play. Their next game is Thursday at Harford Community College (Bel Air, Md.) with tipoff scheduled for 7 p.m.

Although the Knights downed Potomac State by 29 points, the game began slowly. 

Essex led by four after the first frame and had a 43-38 lead at halftime. 

Head coach Mike Seney's team shot 35.7% (15-42) from the field in the first half.

Sophomore Mya Moye (Anacostia) had 15 of her team-high 27 points in the first half on 5-of-10 shooting.

The Knights outscored the Catamounts 24-12 in the third to increase their lead to 17, before slamming the door in the fourth.

Moye also finished with seven rebounds, six assists and three steals. 

Freshman Kobie Scott-Pearson (Oakland Mills) had a nice day, finishing with 15 points on 5-of-6 shooting, four rebounds and three steals. 

Freshman La'Mya Ford (Warrensville Heights) also had double-digit points with 12 (5-11), three rebounds and two steals.  

While the Catamounts had a better shooting percentage over all (44.9% to 39.3%) and three-point percentage (42.1% to 25.5%), the Knights were able to turn 27 Potomac turnovers into 40 points. 

In addition, the Essex bench outscored Potomac's 28-14 and the Knights dominated points in the paint 44-16.

Sunday Funday

The Knights yesterday hosted the other CCBC - Community College of Beaver County - and send the Titans back to Monaca, Pa. with a 103-46 loss. 

Essex again started slowly, but got things together in time to build a 49-22 halftime lead. 

This game was a "live by the three, die by the three" sort of game for the Knights, as more than half of their shot attempts (51-of-92) came from behind the arc, a record for attempts by a Seney-coached team. 

Essex did hit 18 of those attempts (35.3%) in route to the 57-point victory. 

Freshman Kendal Haggerty (Urbana) finished with a career-high 15 points on 5-of-7 shooting and went 4-for-6 on three-point attempts. She also had three steals and two boards.

Sophomore Aislinn Flynn (Long Island Lutheran) led the Knights with a double-double on 15 points and 14 rebounds. The Towson University transfer also had six blocks, three steals and made 5-of-6 at the free throw line. 

Sophomores Kasey Gagan (St. Raphael Academy) and Moye finished with 12 points and six assists apiece and combined to shot 8-for-23 from the field. 

The Knights bench shined again, outscoring the Titans 52-0.

Another huge difference maker was points of turnovers, which the Knights won 55-3.
