SALEM – Kia Fernandes (Wareham, Mass.) scored a career-high 29 points and tied a career-best with 16 rebounds as Salem State easily defeated Colby Sawyer 64-46 on Tuesday evening at Twohig Gymnasium. Fernandes went 9-for-17 from the field and connected on 9-of-11 free throws in posting her third double-double of the season.
Salem State (4-8) held Colby Sawyer to just 17.1% (6-35) shooting in the first half as the Vikings built a 29-15 halftime advantage. The Chargers scored just two field goals over the first nine minutes while missing all six free throw attempts in the first quarter. Fernandez had 11 of the Vikings first 17 points as she scored 19 points before halftime. A layup by Jordyn Enos (Salinas, Calif.) cut the deficit to six points for Colby at 19-13 with six minutes left in the second quarter before the Vikings ended on a 10-2 run, taking a 29-15 lead into halftime following a layup and free throw by Fernandes with .01 left on the clock. Fernandes also added nine rebounds as Salem State shot 38.5% (10-26) from the floor in the first half. Amanda Calvo (South Deerfield, Mass.) had five points for the Chargers which went just 1-8 (12.5%) from the free throw line.
The Vikings opened with a 9-2 spurt to begin the third as the lead grew to 38-17. A Norma Waggett layup (Saugus, Mass.) doubled the advantage to 42-21 with 5:04 remaining. The Chargers continued to struggle offensively, going just 5-for-15 (33.3%) in the quarter as the Vikings entered the fourth ahead 48-29. The lead grew to as many as 26 as the both teams went to their benches. Gianna Moschella (Peabody, Mass.), who had eight second half points also countered with five steals to lead Salem State. Waggett finished with 11 points and five rebounds for the Vikings, who shot 25-of-58 (39.7%) for the game.
