PHILADELPHIA - The No. 7 Bryant University women's basketball team couldn't hold on to a nine-point halftime lead in Friday afternoon's NCAA Northeast Regional First Round action, falling to Northeast-10 Conference rival No. 2 Stonehill College, 67-58 at Holy Family University.
The Bulldogs set the pace for the contest's first half early and with a fluency they've had throughout the 2007-08 postseason. Bryant (20-12) scored the first bucket of the game 1:15 in, when senior captain Lynne-Ann Kokoski (Hatfield, Mass.) fed the ball to sophomore standout Kelsey O'Keefe (Warren, Mass.) just outside the paint. With nowhere to go, O'Keefe turned to rookie Siamone Bennett (Newburgh, NY) on the post for the layup. [more]
