Williams Scores 1000th Career Point as Devils Down Misericordia

MADISON, N.J. – With 4:29 left in the contest, FDU-Florham women's basketball sophomore Kendrea Williams sunk a three-pointer to mark her milestone 1000th career point in just 48 collegiate games played as the Devils defeated conference rival Misericordia, 84-61, Saturday afternoon.

Williams needed 21 points to earn the milestone and without missing a beat, she sunk six three's and three free throws to become the second Devil in the program's history to reach 1000 points in her second season.

On her first three-pointer of the game, Williams broke her own single-season program record in three-pointers, finishing the triumph at 81 three-pointers made so far this season.

"I'm really proud of the work that young lady has put in to achieve this accomplishment," head coach Marc Mitchell said.

Sophomore guard Taiah Thornton scored a dominating 19 points and had six steals in just her second game back from injury. Junior Bria Smith also added 19 points for the team, scoring 17 in the first half alone.

The Devils took advantage of their opponent's mistakes, capitalizing on 31 points off turnovers.

Senior Michaela Piserchia was a driving force for the Devils, grabbing five steals and making three blocks while freshman Aleah Bass earned her first collegiate points off a good layup.

Junior Raven Dowling continued to be a playmaker, notching six assists, four steals and eight points in the victory.

Up next, the Devils (13-6, 6-2 MAC Freedom) travel to Wilkes-Barre, Pa. to take on conference foe Wilkes University on Wednesday, Jan. 31 at 6 p.m.
