BRONXVILLE, NY — Mount Saint Vincent Women’s Basketball seniors Andrea DiNizo (Cortlandt Manor, NY/Masters) and Laura Bucci (Irvington, NY/Our Lady of Victory) entered their final career regular season game on Saturday hoping to make it a day to remember. 40 minutes later, both walked off the court for the final time in a regular season game having enjoyed one of the finest performances of their outstanding careers. Against the College of New Rochelle, DiNizo scored a career-high 29 points, and Bucci netted her fourth career double-double with 10 points and a season-high 11 assists as the Dolphins routed CNR, 81-44 during a game played at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York. With the win, the Mount finishes the regular season with a 7-15 overall record, including a 4-1 mark in the Hudson Valley Women’s Athletic Conference (HVWAC). The Dolphins will be the #2 seed in next week’s HVWAC playoffs.

At that point, the Mount blew the game wide open with a 10-0 run, and led 33-19 at halftime. The Dolphins carried the momentum into the second half, enjoying a 22-0 run during a five-minute span to turn the game into a rout. The Mount outscored CNR 48-25 over the final 20 minutes as DiNizo scored 18 points during that span. The Dolphins shot 59% for the game, and outrebounded the Blue Angels 52-39.
