NJCU Falls to Defending Champ Montclair on Senior Day

JERSEY CITY, NJ (NJCUGothicKnights.com) | Three-time defending New Jersey Athletic Conference Montclair State University knocked down 11 three pointers in the first half and remained in a first place tie in the NJAC after a 79-44 win over the New Jersey City University women's basketball on Senior Day on February 13 at the John J. Moore Athletics and Fitness Center (Coach Charlie Brown Court).
 
Montclair State  (18-6, 14-3 NJAC), ranked No. 3 in the NCAA Division III Atlantic Region, won its seventh consecutive game after entering the day tied with Rowan and Stockton atop the league standings. NJCU (1-22, 0-17 NJAC) concluded its home schedule with the loss. In a game that took just 1:29 to play there were only 22 combined fouls by both teams.
 
Prior to the game, NJCU honored its lone senior, three-year captain and forward Deseree Johnson (Red Bank, NJ/Monmouth Regional). She scored 10 on Senior Day, including two threes, to increase her own single-season (56) and career (113) three-point records.
 
Sophomore center Sharaunda Fiedtkou (West Orange, NJ/Bayonne) scored a career-high 20 points for the hosts on 9-of-12 shooting with seven rebounds in 38 minutes. She scored 13 in the first half on 6-of-7 shooting.

Montclair shot 55.6 percent in the first half (15-27) when it led 48-30 at the break. It was a sensational 11-of-20 from three-point distance (55.0 percent) and finished the game with 13 three-pointers—the second most in a game in program history (15 vs. Rutgers-Newark, January 11, 1995).
