UNH Gets America East Schedule Off to Nice Start With 56-51 Victory
DURHAM, N.H. – Senior forward Kat Fogarty (Westminster, Mass.) scored 16 points and senior forward Olivia Healy (Reading, Mass.) led a fourth-quarter charge to lead the University of New Hampshire women's basketball team to a 56-51 win over UMBC in its America East Conference opener on Wednesday in Lundholm Gymnasium.
The Wildcats improved to 10-4 overall and are 6-0 at home this season. UMBC, which has struggled with injuries through the first half of the season, is 1-13.
UNH, which is looking to defend its America East regular season championship, hits the road for its next two games. Coach Maureen Magarity's team plays at the University at Albany on Saturday at 2 p.m. and at Binghamton on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
The Wildcats trailed UMBC, 37-25, with less than three minutes left in the third period and were down 38-33 after three quarters. They outscored the Retrievers 23-13 in the fourth quarter.

A Laura Castaldo three-pointer gave UMBC a 37-25 lead with 2:36 left in the third quarter. A 6-0 run by UNH helped get the gap down to 38-33 by the end of the third period.
Fogarty opened the fourth period with a jumper and from there Healy scored the next nine UNH points. UNH trailed 45-44 after Healy's final basket.
The Wildcats took their first lead of the game at 52-49 on a putback and foul shot by senior guard Aliza Simpson (Londonderry, N.H.) with 1:08 to play.
