It was a tale of two half for the Lady Falcons tonight as they drop a non-conference matchup with visiting Vermont Tech College at Fectau-Leary Gym in Lynn, MA.

On the other hand, the Knights of Vermont Tech were able to fix their first half woes, improving their shooting from 26.2% (11-42) to 40% (16-40).
The Lady Falcons were paced by Porsha Grayson's 26 points and 12 rebounds. It was a career high for Grayson, playing her 1st season with the Lady Falcons. Grayson and sophomore Javanna Bernard's 21 points made up 76% percent of Fisher's scoring.
The Lady Knights were led by Kelly Vellek's impressive night. The 5'7" forward scored 33 points while collecting 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. Vermont Tech also received strong contributions from Ama Baker, 22 points 8 rebounds, and Paige Wells' 8 points and 22 rebounds.
