The Lady Seawolves’ hopes of playing in Sunday’s championship were dashed Saturday afternoon in the second game of the women’s semifinals when they fell hard to the NHTI Lynx.

The Lady Seawolves won both regular-season games against NHTI; however, postseason play is often full of upsets and disappointments.

SMCC senior Jennifer Conrad finished the day with 20 points and one rebound shy of a double-double. However, the Wolves were not able to capitalize on Jennifer’s efforts, as the team shot a dismal 23.9 from the field.

NHTI’s Riselly Deoleo finished with a game-high 33 points while managing to corral 12 boards.

SMCC was staring down a 10-point deficit headed to the locker room at half, but the Lynx opened up the third-quarter play fast and finished the quarter with a 22-point performance. Displaying tough defense, NHTI cruised to an easy win inside the H.U.B. gym.

While the loss was disappointing, the Lady Wolves are still on the hunt for an at-large bid to the USCAA Nationals in Uniontown, Pa. The USCAA will be making its selection Tuesday at 5:00 p.m.
