Box Score OLD WESTBURY, N.Y. (Feb. 24, 2015) - The LIU Post women's basketball team fell to East Coast Conference rival NYIT, 100-70, at Recreation Hall in Old Westbury on Tuesday evening.

The Pioneers (15-11, 11-7  ECC) struggled to get anything going offensively, despite senior guards Chelsea Williams (Copiague, N.Y.) and Ashley Castle (Brooklyn, N.Y.) and junior center Nyasia Davis (Rahway, N.J.) all scoring in double figures. Williams led the way with 20, while Castle and Davis both chipped in 15. Davis also collected 10 boards. The Bears (17-9, 12-6 ECC) had five different players in double figures, including two with 20 or more.

Throughout the first half, each time the Pioneers got close, the Bears pulled away. NYIT ended the first 20 minutes on a 6-0 run to take a 53-37 lead into the break. Williams scored 14 first-half points on 5-of-12 shooting, including a 3-of-6 clip from three-point territory. Her hot start wasn't enough, however, as NYIT shot 61.3 percent from the floor and was 13-for-18 from the free throw line.

In the second half, it was all NYIT. The Bears started the latter stanza on a 24-4 run to take a 33-point advantage (77-44) and never looked back. Late in the half, NYIT would go on a 7-2 spurt to close out the contest.

As a team, the Pioneers shot 29.9 percent from the floor, including a 20.0 percent clip from long distance.

Head Coach Deirdre Moore and the Pioneers return to action on Friday (Feb. 27), when they host Daemen in an ECC battle. The opening tip is slated for 5 p.m. with Senior Night festivities to take place prior to tip-off. LIU Post will be honoring its three graduating seniors; Williams, Castle and Jessica Little (Wyandanch, N.Y.).
