OAKES ENDS SEASON WITH AN EXCLAMATION POINT - POSTS A TRIPLE-DOUBLE IN A LOSS TO CENTENARY

Allentown, PA (February 21, 2008) – Kelly Oakes finished her sophomore season with a bang, notching a triple-double in an 83-65 loss to the PAC playoff-bound Centenary Cyclones. Oakes had 23 points, 16 boards and 10 assists to lead the Falcons. In addition, freshman Leann Wallower posted a double-double with 21 points and 11 rebounds, but the prolific offensive output of these two was still not enough to put the Black and Gold over the hump in a very up-tempo game.

The game was nearly identical to their meeting earlier this season, a 10-point Centenary victory in Hackettstown. Tonight the Falcons kept it close early, tying the score as late as 12:07 into the game before a Cyclone run put them down nine at the half. In the second half Centenary added to their lead a bit, but Cedar Crest cut the margin to 10 on six occasions including as late as 2:12 to play before running out of gas.

Ultimately, Cedar Crest had no answer for the Cyclones' Ayana Way who scored a jaw-dropping 39 points. Stephanie Roberts had 18 points and 11 boards and Kristen Camuso chipped in 14.

The Falcons finish at 6-19 overall (1-15 PAC) on the season, while Centenary improves to 15-9 overall (10-6 PAC) and will enter the PAC playoffs as the fifth seed.
