CACC Notes

Felician: Dee Dee Smith's 22 points in Thursday's win at Nyack matched the most any Golden Falcon has scored this season. Smith also had 22 in a Nov. 18 loss at Bryant. The victory was Felician's first since Nov. 21, ending a program-worst 21-game losing streak. The Golden Falcons also snapped strings of 19 straight CACC losses (since winning last year's regular-season finale against Goldey-Beacom), 16 road losses and 20 non-home setbacks in a row (since winning at Wilmington on Feb. 2, 2006). Senior guard Terry Sues scored a career-high 17 points in the victory.

Georgian Court: Freshman guard Jamee Bush scored a season-high 20 points against Philadelphia on Thursday. GCU travels to Dominican on Tuesday in a game originally scheduled for Feb. 13. Dominican defeated Georgian Court, 66-54, earlier this season.

Post: Post has won three games in a row and five of its last seven to improve to 8-11 in CACC play. Last week the Eagles defeated Caldwell, 74-69, and Wilmington to move into the eighth and final playoff spot in the CACC race. Senior Marjorie Prado had 18 points in the win over Caldwell, while senior Telisha Moultrie chipped in with 18 as well. Senior Tadj Williams led the way with 19 points and 14 rebounds. In the final regular-season game at the Drubner Center on Saturday, Prado led the way with 21 points on 9-of-18 shooting. Williams notched her third double-double of the season and fourth in a row with 12 points and 14 rebounds. Moultrie recorded her third double-double of the season and second in a row with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
