Waterbury, CT - Led by a career-high 34 points by Sha'Raya Haines, the Post University women's basketball team never trailed in a 68-59 win over Georgian Court University in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Quarterfinals on Tuesday evening at the Drubner Center.

It's the third straight season the Eagles have played in that they have reached the CACC Semifinals. They will take on Holy Family at 2 p.m. at Jefferson University on Saturday, March 4.

Post extended its lead to 14 points at 35-21 less than four minutes into the second quarter as Haines scored ten of the first 15 points of the quarter, hitting two threes.
