Melissa Gray scored 20 points for Westfield and Isabella Aitken added 12 in a night of limited highlights for the Owls as they capped the first semester with 106-62 loss at Springfield College.

The Pride (6-5) were led by 26 points from Alex Goslin and 21 from Emily Jaques.  The Pride shot a blistering 65.7 percent from the floor, and were 7-17 (42 percent) from three point range.

Two bad quarters were the Owls undoing.  Westfield trailed 23-20 at the end of the first quarter, but Springfield outpaced the Owls 36-10 in the second quarter as Westfield went cold from the floor, shooting just 4-18 in the frame.   The Owls trailed 73-54 after three quarters, but again went cold, scoring just eight points in the fourth quarter.

Westfield wraps up the fall semester with a 3-7 record.  

The Owls will be idle for finals and the winter break before returning to action with another local game at Western New England on Thursday, January 2.
