Both NEC Tournament pairings played in Fairfield went the Pioneers way, both semifinal meetings. The four-year seniors in Sunday s championship game have a 4-4 record against each other. But after the Pioneers swept the three-game season series from the Hawks in their most recent championship season of , the current seniors freshman campaign, Monmouth has posted a 4-1 record, including wins in the last four meetings.

Sacred Heart got no closer than nine points the rest of the way. The Hawks held the Pioneers to just 21.7 percent shooting (5-23) in the second half, and kept SHU without a point for the first 6:37 of the period, another 4:57 in the middle portion of the stanza, and without a field goal for the final 6:02 of regulation. sticky talons Led by three steals apiece from Gena Broadus, Alexis Canady and Betsy Gadziala, Monmouth made a season-high 15 steals against Sacred Heart on Feb. 6.

In each instance, a title ultimately resulted. The lone loss belonged to Saint Francis (Pa.), which fell in consecutive seasons to Mount St. Mary s before overcoming the Mount in 1996, setting off a five-year championship reign ( ). Mount St. Mary s fell to Fairleigh Dickinson in the 1992 championship game before bouncing back to defeat Marist in the 1993 title game. Saint Francis (Pa.) turned the trick for a second time in 2010, defeating LIU Brooklyn after a 2009 championship game setback to Sacred Heart.

Making the feat all the more impressive was that Quinnipiac posted the best field-goal percentage defense in NEC games in the regular season (.359). 20/20 With a 21-point effort against Quinnipiac on March 6, Alysha Womack has eclipsed 20 points in six of 21 games played this year.

The senior floor general made her first three three-point attempts, staking the Hawks to a 13-7 lead in the early going, and Monmouth never trailed the rest of the way.

The junior guard opened the season shooting 49.0 percent (24-49) from long range through eight games, but suffered through a 2-for-23 (.087) stretch in the following seven games. Her 53.8 percent (21-39) performance in the next 12 games pushed her season percentage to 42.9 percent (47-111), before six-straight misses, covering the last four games caused a dip to 40.2 percent, still a team best. WHEN SHE S HOT, SHE DOESN T MISS Carly Thibault was the last of Monmouth s 10 players to score against FDU on Feb. 15, but she finished with a team-high 11 points. Thibault went 0-for-3, all from long range, in the first half, before making all of her three attempts in the second half, also all from three-point land, while adding a pair of free throws. All told, the junior sharpshooter did not miss in the second stanza.

5 GOOD-ZIALA Betsy Gadziala hit 7-of-13 attempts from the floor and 4-of-6 from the free-throw line for a career-high 18 points, Feb. 11 against Fairleigh Dickinson.
