Women’s Basketball Fall on the Road at Dean
MCLA dropped a non-conference game at Dean College this evening.
FRANKLIN, Mass. – The MCLA Women's Basketball team took to the road this evening for a non-conference matchup at the Pieri Gymnasium against the Dean College Bulldogs. For the fourth time this season, Abigail Scialabba cracked double digit points, scoring 15 points but the Trailblazers were unable to hold off the Bulldogs.
THE BASICS:
- Date: Wednesday, December 3, 2025
- Score: MCLA 75, Dean 43
- Records: MCLA Trailblazers 0-4 (MASCAC 0-0) | Dean College Bulldogs 3-6 (GNAC 0-0)
HOW IT WENT DOWN
- The Trailblazers stood toe to toe with the Bulldogs in the opening quarter, finishing the first 10 minutes of play tied at 16-16, getting four points each from sophomore guard Abigail Scialabba (Williamstown, MA) and senior guard/forward Hailey Peabody (West Springfield, MA).
- The second quarter was not as kind to the visitors with MCLA being outscored 26-6, mostly fueled by an 18 point outburst from Dean's Kendrah Doane, to send the teams into the break with the Bulldogs ahead 42-22.
- The Trailblazers returned from the intermission with the vigor they had opened the game with. Junior guard Dakota Quick (Connelly, NY) scored five of her 10 points in the third period and pulled down four of her six rebounds during the third quarter as MCLA cut into the home team's lead.
- The third quarter momentum that the Trailblazers had built up faded as Dean held MCLA to eight points while scoring 22, led by seven points from Kenzie Sherburne.
- Scialabba recorded her second double-double of the season, posting a team-high 15 points and ten boards. The Bulldogs were paced by 23 points by Doane and 11 rebounds by Abigail Lacy.
