DURHAM, N.H. - Senior forward Olivia Healy (Reading, Mass.) scored 16 points and senior guard Aliza Simpson (Londonderry, N.H.) added 11, but the University of New Hampshire women's basketball team came up short against Vermont, 58-53, on Monday night in Lundholm Gymnasium.
UNH is now 15-9 overall and 6-5 in America East play. Vermont is 7-16 overall and 4-6 in the league.
Healy scored eight of her team's 12 points in the fourth period to lead a UNH charge. Freshman guard Amanda Torres (Hudson, N.H.) hit a jumper from the top of the key to give the Wildcats a 53-52 lead with 1:57 to play.
Kristina White answered with a 10-footer with 1:10 left and Vermont was back in front. UNH was unable to get a shot off on its next possession and then had a couple of misses down the stretch and Vermont made its foul shots to pull away.
