BOSTON, Mass. – Freshmen Adrianna McCoy and Ava Naszimento combined for 31 points as the University of Hartford women's basketball team ended the season with a 52-47 victory over Commonwealth Coast Conference foe Wentworth Tuesday at the Nelson Recreation Center.

Naszimento pulled down a pair of offensive boards off missed free throws in the final minute helping the Hawks maintain possession, and eventually pushing the one-point lead to three as Hartford went 2-of-6 from the charity stripe on the possession. She finished with nine rebounds and 13 points on 4-of-8 shooting and 5-of-6 from the foul line.

McCoy led the team with 18 points, four assists, and three steals.

Hartford finished with season 11-14 overall, 7-11 against CCC opponents.

The Hawks went on a game-altering 7-0 run, including a clutch three-pointer by freshman Kendall Rieman, to take a six-point lead with 3:46 remaining in the game.

It was a back-and-forth contest with WIT having its largest lead of five points and Hartford with seven. With the Hawks holding its largest lead with 1:12 left in the third quarter, it appeared as if Hartford was prepared to put a stranglehold on the win. The Leopards responded with eight straight to take the lead in the opening moments of the fourth quarter.
