Soucy, Gogolin Pace 'Cats in 51-50 Loss to Vermont
2/13/2019 10:08:00 PM | Women's Basketball
DURHAM, N.H. – Junior guard Caroline Soucy (Beverly, Mass.) and freshman forward Ivy Gogolin (Hopkinton, Mass.) each contributed a double-double, but it was not quite enough and the University of New Hampshire women's basketball team came up just short at the buzzer and dropped a 51-50 decision to Vermont on Wednesday night in Lundholm Gymnasium.
Soucy had 17 points and Gogolin was right behind with 15 and each set a new career high in rebounds with 12.
The loss snapped UNH's two-game win streak. The Wildcats are now 6-19 overall and 3-9 in America East.
Vermont is 10-14 and 6-6.
UNH plays at Stony Brook on Saturday at 2 p.m.
The Wildcats played their 10th game without their leading scorer, junior forward Ashley Storey (Cumberland, Maine). Storey is out with a foot injury and is expected to miss at least six weeks.
Sophomore guard Amanda Torres (Hudson, N.H.) had 12 points for the Wildcats.
Twin sisters Candice and Courtney Wright, both senior forwards, led the Catamounts. Candice had 15 points and six rebounds and Courtney had 13 points and seven rebounds.

The Wildcats hit the road to play Stony Brook on Saturday in Lundholm Gymnasium at 2 p.m.
Tickets for all UNH home games are available at www.unhwildcats.com or at 603-862-4000.
HIGHLIGHTS
Soucy's double-double was her second straight and third of the season and in her career.
She had 11 points and 11 rebounds in UNH's 54-53 win at Binghamton on Saturday. Wednesday's was her second straight game with a career-high in rebounds.
Gogolin registered her second double-double of the season. She had 12 points and 10 rebounds against Hartford on Jan. 23. The 10 rebounds against Hartford were her previous high.
Soucy and Gogolin led an impressive rebounding night against the taller Catamounts.
The Wildcats have been without several of their frontcourt players during the season due to injuries and have not often won the rebounding battles. They had 39 rebounds to Vermont's 34 on Wednesday.
Freshman guard Kari Brekke (Appleton, Wis.) and freshman guard Kali Grimm (Norwood Young America, Minn.) each had four rebounds against Vermont.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Catamounts surged late in the first period and led 19-13 when it ended.
Torres and Soucy took charge in the second quarter and led the Wildcats on a 9-0 run and eventually a 15-6 advantage in the period for a 28-25 edge at the half.
Torres had all eight of her first-half points in the period and Soucy added seven points and led the way on the boards. At the break, Soucy had seven points, seven rebounds and all three of the team's assists.
Gogolin had nine points and four rebounds in the first half.
Soucy drilled a pair of three-pointers in the last 1:12 of the third quarter to grab a 43-37 with a period to play.
Vermont pulled into a tie at 45-45 with 4:46 left.
UNH moved back in front and led 50-47 on a Gogolin layup with a minute to go.
Candice Wright hit a layup and then Hanna Crymble made a pair of four shots with seven seconds left to give Vermont the lead.
A final UNH shot bounced off the rim at the buzzer.
