No. 21 Women’s Basketball Explodes for 95 Points in Win at Chestnut Hill

PHILADELPHIA – The Holy Family University women's basketball team had its highest scoring performance in regulation in nearly 12 years in a 95-69 victory at Chestnut Hill on Wednesday night. 
 
HFU's  95 points were its most in a regulation game since it had 96 in a win at Georgian Court on Jan. 12, 2012, while the Tigers' 85.7 3-point percentage (12-of-14) was the best by a Division II team since Barton went a perfect 11-for-11 on Feb. 1, 2020. 
 
Additionally, Holy Family's 58.6 field goal percentage (34-of-58) was its highest since shooting 62.5 percent (35-of-56) in a win at Wilmington on Jan. 4, 2023. 
 
Individual Highlights
  • Kaelah Carter (Watervliet, N.Y./Shaker (The College of Saint Rose)) led all players with a career-best 24 points on 8-of-11 field goals and 5-6 3-pointers
  • Taylor Hinkle (Chalfont, Pa./Central Bucks South) also had a 20-point performance, making 8-of-13 field goals
  • Jessica Riepe (Marlboro, N.J./Marlboro) made all five of her 3-point attempts en route to 15 points
  • Carolyn Prevost (Belle Mead, N.J./Montgomery) netted a new season-best 14 points on 6-of-7 field goals
  • Skyler Searfoss (Jim Thorpe, Pa./Jim Thorpe Area) led all players with six assists, five rebounds and three steals, to go along with 11 points
  • Lauren Palangio (North Huntingdon, Pa./Norwin) contributed seven points on 3-of-3 shooting off the bench
 
How it Happened
  • Chestnut Hill's only lead came when it opened the contest with 3-pointer, as HFU responded with the next seven points
  • The Griffins got as close as 9-8 four minutes into the first, but Carter scored the Tigers' final eight points of the period for a 27-20 cushion following 10 minutes of play
  • A Riepe 3-pointer established the first double-digit advantage, 32-20, 47 seconds into the second, but CHC fought back to within three twice, including at 39-36 entering the final minute
  • A Prevost three-point play made it 42-36 going into the locker room, and after the Griffins opened the second half scoring, Searfoss converted on a 3-pointer and a three-point play
  • Following a CHC layup, Searfoss made it a double-digit lead for good with two free throws that extended the advantage to 50-40 just 2:12 out of the locker room
  • That began eight unanswered that featured a Carter 3-pointer and ended with another Prevost three-point play that put HFU on top 56-40 with 6:47 left in the third
