Recap
Freshman Alexis Finnerty scored 25 points in Nichols College's 66-63 loss at Eastern Nazarene University Saturday afternoon in non-conference women's basketball action at the Brandeis Tip-off Tournament at the Red Auerbach Arena in Waltham, Massachusetts.

Finnerty - who earned All-Tournament Team honors - led the way for the Bison picking up 25 points (9-of-19), three assists, seven rebounds and five steals in the Bison's narrow defeat. Junior Isabella Nerney picked up 16 points herself, while also bringing down seven rebounds in the game. Finnerty helped keep the Bison within striking distance with a 10 point second quarter to bring the Lions lead to only 29-25 at the half. She added another eight points in the third quarter as the Bison went into the final frame tied with the Lions.

Eastern Nazarene was led by Stevie Orton who dropped in 19 points and a game-high 10 rebounds. Jenn Burnham was a rebound short of a double-double with 18 points and nine rebounds while Moira Phillips was also in double-digits with 10 points for the Lions.
