On November 21, 2017, freshman forward Marissa Fontaine buried four of her team's 11 three-pointers and grad student Becca Musgrove led the Falcons with 16 points and five steals as Bentley prevailed over Assumption, 64-52, in Northeast-10 women's basketball in Worcester.

Bentley, which moved up to third in the WBCA Division II national coaches poll that was released earlier in the day, improved to 4-0 overall and 2-0 in conference play. On the other hand, 23 turnovers played a key role in Assumption remaining winless (0-3, 0-3 NE10).

Two three-pointers from Fontaine, her third and fourth of the opening half, sent Bentley into the break riding a 10-point lead, 32-22. The six-footer was perfect from downtown in the game and accounted for nine of her team's 15 second-quarter points.

Bentley started each first-half quarter slow, but closed with a run. A 12-3 over the final three minutes of the first produced a 17-11 lead, and a 12-2 run over the final 5:20 of the second broke a 20-20 tie.

The second half was a different story as the Falcons began each quarter with a run. In the third, a 10-4 burst that included four points from junior center Victoria Lux made it a 16-point difference with 3:49 left, 62-46.

In the fourth, Musgrove scored the first five points, on a corner three and a put-back. That produced the game's biggest lead, 50-33 with 8:22 to play.

A key stretch in the final quarter was a run of six straight for the Falcons. A free throw from senior guard Macchi Smith, a lay-up from sophomore forward Monica Viapiano and a three from the left side by senior guard Lauren Green restored the Bentley advantage to 15, 61-46, with 2:42 left.

Musgrove, the game's top scorer, also had three assists and the same number of rebounds. Lux, the reigning NE10 Player of the Week, put up a 12-point, 12-rebound double-double with two blocks, and Fontaine netted her 12 points on 4-or-4 shooting from deep, all in the first half.

Bentley shot better from the field, 50-46, and from deep, knocking down 11 of 23 triples as compared to only two of nine for the home team. Rebounds favored the Hounds, 45-37, but eight more Assumption turns resulted in a 23-9 Falcon advantage in points off.
