BANGOR, Maine – Kenzie Worcester scores a career and game-high 17 points and Victoria McIntyre records her third career double-double to lead Husson women's basketball team to a 72-62 victory over New England College (NEC) in North Atlantic Conference (NAC) action on Saturday afternoon inside Newman Gym.

Husson (3-1, 3-0 NAC) wins its third-straight game, while New England College (3-6, 1-3 NAC) drops its fifth-straight game this season and falls to 6-7 in the all-time series.

NEC jumped out to an early 6-2 lead in the first few minutes of the first quarter but a 6-0 run by Husson put the Eagles up by one with 6:50 remaining in the quarter. The Eagles and the Pilgrims went back and forth with each possession for the rest of the first half as Husson lead 37-31 going into the intermission.
