Stony Brook, NY – Junior point guard Jackie Smith scored a career-high 19 points, while tying a school record for three pointers made in a game, to lead the Hartford women's basketball team to a 60-42 win over Stony Brook on Saturday afternoon. The win is the 11th straight for Hartford, who improves to 18-3 overall and 9-0 in conference action.

Smith finished the gamer perfect from the field in her six attempts, all from long range, while adding one-of-two free throws. She also added a pair of assists. Senior Diana Delva also finished with double figures, her team leading 18th time, with 17 points, going 7-of-10 from the field. As a team, the Hawks finished the game shooting 47.6 percent from the field (20-of-42), including 66.7 percent from beyond the arc (8-of-12), a season best for the Hawks long ball shooters.

The Hawks never trailed in the game after scoring the first two buckets of the game. Two of the Hawks seniors scored the first two buckets with Delva hitting a layup on a second-chance basket off the opening tip, while Beverly hit a jump shot off a pass from Silvia.

A 7-0 run early in the second half led to the Hawks largest lead in the first 20 minutes, 13-4 with 13:56 to play in the first stanza. The lead saw layups from Delva and Ilicia Mathis and the first three pointer of the game for the Hawks and Smith.

The Seawolves made their only run at the Hawks in the later minutes of the half, scoring six-straight, including two baskets from Misha Horsey. The Hawks would answer by extending the lead back to seven, 26-19 before Horsey hit the final bucket of the half with :45 seconds remaining.

The Hawks came out of the break and saw two-straight three pointers from Smith, putting the lead at 32-24. That lead grew in a hurry as the Hawks put together a 14-2 run to go ahead 46-26 with just under 10 minutes remaining in the game. The second part of the run saw seven-straight points, including back-to-back three pointers from Smith, the second of which tied her with Danielle Wexler and teammate Mary Silvia for the school record.

The largest lead of the game came on a layup from Ruthanne Doherty as she drove down the lane putting the Hawks ahead 48-36 with 2:51 remaining. Stony Brook scored six of the final eight points of the game, but the Hawks pulled out of Pritchard Gymnasium with their 11th straight win.

Hartford returns home to open the month of February to play its first of five home games in the final month of the regular season. The Hawks will welcome the UMBC Retrievers to Chase Arena on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m.
