Stags win 67-52

Just talked to my former radio partner, Stags play-by-play guy John Cummings. A few items from the box score that he brought to my attention: 
  • Megan Caskin had as good a game as a point guard can have: 12 assists and no turnovers in 37 minutes. And as a bonus, she scored a career-high 10 points on 3-of-5 shooting. John's take on the scoring: usually, no one guards her, but she doesn't take or make many jumpers. Today, she took them and hit them, forcing Siena to have a player on her and leave other players open. 
  • Fairfield won by 15 despite getting only seven points from leading scorer and first-team All-MAACer Sabra Wrice. 
  • Meka Werts was lethal, scoring 18 points on 4-of-7 3-point shooting. The take from former UConn guard and current color analyst (the gig I had two years ago) Maria Conlon, who practices with the Stags when she can, is that Werts jumps so high and brings the ball so far back that her jumper is impossible to block and very hard to defend. 
  • Stephanie Geehan -- who missesd most of the regular season -- made a big impact, finishing with six points, six rebounds and four blocks in 24 minutes. John thinks she could be the difference-maker in the semifinals tomorrow against Iona.
