Waterbury, CT - The Post University Women's Basketball team hit 13 threes in a highly competitive 82-76 win over Bloomfield on Wednesday evening at the Drubner Center.

Both teams got off to fast starts in the first quarter as the Eagles jumped out to a 15-9 lead over the first 3:40 of the game as the Eagles relied on the deep ball early on with Sha'Raya Haines hitting two threes and Kiara Eubanks hitting one. The Eagles held the lead - with one brief tie - until the 37 second mark in the quarter when Bloomfield's Daniya Darby made a layup followed by a layup from Saja Alston to give the Bears a 23-20 lead in to the second quarter. Haines scored ten of her team-high 25 points in the first quarter.

The Bears and Eagles swapped leads four times in the second quarter as Taina Pagan and Eubanks both made layups in the first minute to put the Eagles up 24-23. A three from Bloomfield's Taneshia Tucker followed by one from Tyree Allen gave the Eagles their one-point lead back at 27-26 with 7:57 remaining. Darby followed up on the next possession with a layup to give the Bears the lead back. The Bears would lead by as much as nine in the quarter, taking a 42-33 lead after a layup from Alston with 3:23 left. Haines then scored the next nine points for the Eagles, including two threes to cut their deficit to 44-39 with 1:55 remaining. Again, Bloomfield would put their lead back up to nine at 48-39, but back-to-back threes from Tyara McQueen, including one at the buzzer cut Bloomfield's lead to 48-45 at the half.

Bloomfield hit a three to open the third quarter, but the Eagles followed with the next 14 points to take their biggest lead of the game at 59-51 behind three three-pointers from Allen including one to give the Eagles their first lead of the second half. Jailah White also scored three points during the run, making a tough layup in the lane, getting fouled and making the free-throw. Bloomfield trimmed Post's lead to 63-61 at the 2:25 mark, but a jumper from Allen and a three from McQueen helped push their lead back to 69-62. Post went into the fourth leading 71-67.

The offense slowed for both teams in the fourth, but the Bears were able to tie the game, 76-76 at the 3:34 mark. It would be the last points for the Bears as a layup from Pagan a jumper from Haines and two free-throws from Allen sealed the win for the Eagles and swept the season series.
