HARTFORD, Conn. – Junior center Carlie Pogue (Cincinnati, Ohio) hit a couple of major milestones and led the University of New Hampshire women's basketball team to a couple others in a 62-57 triumph at Hartford on Saturday afternoon.
The Wildcat win clinched the first outright regular season America East championship in program history. UNH shared a league title in 1984-85.
Coach Maureen Magarity's team improved to 23-4 overall and 13-1 in America East. The Wildcats will be the top seed for the league tournament in two weeks in Portland, Maine.
The victory also matched UNH's record for most wins in a season.
Pogue had 18 points and seven rebounds in the win and reached a pair of marks. She finished the game with 1,000 points and 500 rebound for her career.
Junior forward Kat Fogarty (Westminster, Mass.) had 12 points and eight rebounds and senior guard Kristen Anderson (Greene, Maine) made four of her eight three-point shot attempts and had 12 points and five assists.
NEXT AT HOME
The Wildcats play UMass Lowell at home in Lundholm Gymnasium on Thursday, Feb. 23 at 7 p.m. on ESPN3 for Senior Night.
