DURHAM, N.H. – Freshman guard Kari Brekke (Appleton, Wis.) scored 16 points and helped spur a fourth quarter rally to lead the University of New Hampshire women's basketball team to a 54-46 win over UMass Lowell on Wednesday night in Lundholm Gymnasium.
The Wildcats completed the season sweep of the River Hawks with the triumph. They won at UMass Lowell, 56-53, on Jan. 5.
