L, 66-53 St. Bonaventure held a seven-point advantage at the half and built its lead as large as 10 at the start of the second frame, 38-28, before UMass closed its gap with points from Dillard and McDerment. The freshmen keyed a 9-2 run that cut the deficit to 40-37 with nine minutes, 20 seconds to play in the game. Massachusetts stayed within striking distance of the Bonnies until the home squad put together a 10-point run which turned its slim 53-48 lead into a 63-48 advantage in the final minute of play. Free throw shooting supported the streak as the Bonnies were 8-of-10 from the foul line in that span and went 26-for-32 in the category during the game (81.3 percent).

Pierre-Louis Pours In 33 Kim Pierre-Louis led UMass to its 78-57 victory at Boston University with a careerhigh 33 points. It marked the most scored by a Minutewoman in a single game since Melissa Gurile had 38 versus Providence on Dec. 11, 1993 and tied her for the fifthhighest total ever recorded by UMass. Pierre-Louis scored her 33 via a 10-of-15 performance from the floor and 13-of-14 day at the foul line. Her made free throws total stands as the fifth-most in one game in program history. It was her first game with 30 or more points at the collegiate level. A Defensive First In Over Six Years UMass limited Saint Joseph’s to just 24.6 percent on field goal attempts (16-of-65), the first time the Minutewomen limited a foe to less than 25.0 percent from the floor since Brown hit 21.8 percent (12-of-55) of its attempts in a 64-41 Maroon and White victory on Dec. 7, 2008 - a span of 184 games between the two contests. Quick Look: Massachusetts 71, La Salle 68 UMass improved to 8-8 overall and 2-2 in Atlantic 10 Conference games with a 71-68 victory over La Salle at the Mullins Center on Thursday, Jan. 15. The Minutewomen led by as much as 14 points, but had to stave off a rally by the Explorers for the win. Kim Pierre-Louis dropped in a game-high 24 points and earned her 10th double-double with 13 rebounds. Cierra Dillard scored 13 points while Rashida Timbilla had a singlegame career-high 17 rebounds. Amber Dillon’s final point provided the Minutewomen with the 71-68 margin after she absorbed a foul on the defensive side and hit the second of two free throws with six seconds to play. Micahya Owens hoisted up a desperation three-pointer from well beyond the arc looking to tie, but the shot fell short and clanked harmlessly off the right side of the rim as time expired. La Salle (10-7, 1-3) put together an 11-point run spanning the halves to cut a 35-21 UMass lead down to 35-32 with 18:19 left in the game. UMass immediately rallied when the game was back within one possession and used a 7-0 streak that put the lead back into double-digits at 42-32. The comfortable gap was short-lived as the Explorers scored nine of the next 11 points to get back within three, 46-43 after a jumper by Cropper, but Ciara Rosten used one of her four made field goals to extend the gap back to five with 10:47 to go. However, the Minutewomen never let La Salle even the contest despite the lead dropping to one point on two occasions. 4 University of Massachusetts Women’s Basketball Game Notes Rarities In The Umass-SJU Series Dillard Gets Second A-10 ROokie Nod The 65-47 win at Saint Joseph’s marked a few rarities in the series between the sides, including the fewest points allowed to the Hawks (47) since a 42-33 win for the Minutewomen on Jan. 13, 2005, which was 11 games prior in the series. Freshman guard Cierra Dillard earned Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week on Jan. 12 after she averaged 20.5 points over games against Saint Louis and Saint Joseph’s. It was Dillard’s second A-10 rookie award of the season. The victory in Hagan Arena was also the first for the Minutewomen since Jan. 13, 2005, and only the third in the history of the series, which includes 25 games played on Saint Joseph’s campus. The other road victory was on Feb. 14, 1998 when UMass won on the road, 55-46 en route to an NCAA Tournament berth. She shot 12-for-23 on field goals (52.2 percent), including 4-of-8 from three-point land, and went 13-of-18 at the foul line (72.2 percent) combined in those contests. Dillard has a career high with 23 points against the Billikens before she led UMass with 18 points at Saint Joseph’s. The 18-point margin of victory also marked the largest winning gap for the Minutewomen against Saint Joseph’s overall. Pierre-Louis Picked For A-10 Player of the Week Winner Winner Chicken Dinner In the eight team wins this season, Kim PierreLouis leads UMass with 22.6 points over 28.6 minutes averaged per game. She is 71-for-117 from the floor (60.7 percent) with 76 rebounds (9.5 per game), 12 steals, 11 assists and 10 blocks during those victories. Creating Extra Possessions UMass forced opponents into 299 turnovers during the opening 19 games of the season for an average of 15.7 per game. The last time the Minutewomen forced more turnovers on average was during the 2008-09 season when the Maroon and White earned 15.8 per game. Quick Look: UMass 65, St. Joseph’s 47 UMass won at Hagan Arena vs. Saint Joseph’s for the first time since 2005 when the Minutewomen earned a 65-47 victory on Saturday, Jan. 10. Cierra Dillard led the Maroon and White with 18 points while Rashida Timbilla contributed 17 with nine rebounds and Kim Pierre-Louis earned a doubledouble on 16 points and 10 boards. The win at Hagan Arena was the first for the Minutewomen since 2005 and only the third in the 56-game series, including a victory earned at Saint Joseph’s in 1998. The 18-point margin represents the largest UMass victory in the history of the two teams facing off, which dates back to the 1977-78 season. UMass pushed its lead into double-digits, 26-16, with three minutes, 56 seconds to play in the first half on a 9-0 run. Emily Mital drained a triple to start the streak before Timbilla put in a layup and Pierre-Louis had back-to-back makes. The lead did not fall below seven points the rest of the way. After Saint Joseph’s cut it to 45-38 with 9:57 remaining in the second stanza, UMass responded with a 13-4 run to increase the margin to 58-42 at the 2:54 mark. Kim Pierre-Louis earned Atlantic 10 Player of the Week honors on Monday, as announced by the conference office. The award marks the first such for Pierre-Louis. She earned the laurel after the Ottawa, Ontario, native recorded a 33-point, 14-rebound performance in the 78-57 win at Boston University on Sunday, Dec. 28. Pierre-Louis scored her 33 via a 10-for-15 day from the floor and 13-of-14 performance at the foul line. The points total is tied for fifth in program history for most in one game and went as the highest single-game total by a Minutewoman since Melissa Gurile had 38 versus Providence on Dec. 11, 1993. The last Minutewoman to earn A-10 Player of the Week was Jasmine Watson on Nov. 12, 2012. Quick Look: UMass 78, Boston U. 57 Kim Pierre-Louis scored a career-high 33 points and Kymber Hill added a personal-best-tying 14 more as UMass raced by Boston University, 78-57 on Sunday, Dec. 28. Pierre-Louis’ game ranks tied for fifth in points scored in one contest at UMass and it is the most tallied since Melissa Gurile had 38 against Providence on Dec. 11, 1993. Pierre-Louis also put in the fifth-most free throws in one game (13) and had a double-double as she also led both sides with 14 rebounds, a season high. Massachusetts used its shooting performance to turn an early 11-6 hole into a 17-point lead with three minutes, 26 seconds to play in the first half, supported by Pierre-Louis’ 15 points in only 10 minutes on the floor during the frame. The Ottawa, Ontario, native was 5-for-6 from the floor and 5-of6 on free throws while the Minutewomen shot 58.6 percent on field goals as a team in the frame. However, UMass did not score after Amber Dillon’s layup with 3:26 left in the first. The Terriers used the drought to put up the final five points of the frame and closed within 44-27 at the break. Massachusetts responded with an 8-2 surge during the start of the second half and Boston University was unable to close the gap below 16 points during the rest of the game. 5 Mital In The UMass Record Book Three-Pointers Made (Career) Rk.Name 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

Timbilla is up to 638 as a Minutewoman 19 games into her junior season. She had 241 as a freshman and 207 during her sophomore season. Currently, Timbilla averages the second-most rebounds in the conference at 10.0 boards per game as a junior and 8.4 per game for her career. UMass used the same starting five in each of its 16 games so far in 2014-15. Leah McDerment serves as the point guard, Cierra Dillard is the shooting guard, Rashida Timbilla holds down the No. 3 spot as a combo guard/forward, Kim Pierre-Louis start at forward (No. 4) and Kymber Hill is the center. If she continues to average 8.0 rebounds per game over the remainder of her career, Timbilla projects to finish as one of only three Minutewomen ever to earn at least 900 career rebounds alongside Jennifer Butler (1,328; 1999-2003) and Octavia Thomas (903; 1992-96). Team-Wide Accuracy UMass ranks fourth in the Atlantic 10 through 19 games with its .414 field goal percentage as a team. Individually, five Minutewomen with a minimum of 20 shots attempted have connected on at least 42.0 percent of their tries, led by Kim Pierre-Louis’ 53.5 conversion rate (129-of-241), ahead of Rashida Timbilla’s (65-of-146) 44.5 percent rate. Three Minutewomen are bunched near 42.0 percent in Amber Dillon (42.7; 35-of-82), Kymber Hill (42.5; 34-of-80) and Maggie Mulligan (42.3; 11-of-26). The squad has shot above 42.0 percent as a group in nine of 19 games, including seven of the eight victories. UMass is the only Atlantic 10 Conference team to use the same starting five in each game this season.

University of Massachusetts Women’s Basketball Game Notes Inside Prescence Is Paramount Dillard Scoring In Bunches During the eight victories, Kim Pierre-Louis and Kymber Hill have dominated in the paint for the Minutewomen. As a result, UMass owns a 268-170 edge in scoring within the paint, a 33.5-to-21.3 per game margin, during those games. Nineteen games into her UMass career, Cierra Dillard averages 10.5 points per contest and is currently the second-highest scoring Minutewoman. The Minutewomen won the battle of the paint 12 times this year, including in all eight victories. Deuces Wild Kim Pierre-Louis has six of the eight 20-point games secured by Minutewomen during the current season, including a 33-point effort against Boston University. Cierra Dillard has the other two, including when she scored a career-high 23 versus the Billikens. Pierre-Louis tallied 22 points when UMass defeated UCF, 67-62, through a 13-point game-ending run. Pierre-Louis’ 22 scored were the most by a Minutewoman this season at the time and the fifth game the senior provided at least 20 points in her career. Pierre-Louis added another 22-point effort to help UMass secure its 71-61 victory over American on Saturday, Dec. 6. She surpassed this total with a then-career-high 27 for the Minutewomen in their 72-61 win over Holy Cross on Sunday, Dec. 14, and did so again at Boston University two weeks later when she dropped 33 on the Terriers. She has since added two more with 26 against Saint Louis and 24 versus La Salle. All six of her 20-point games this season occurred during the most recent 14 contests. Dillard showed a penchant for scoring in bunches at critical junctures versus CMU and North Texas. She netted nine points, an assist and a steal during the final four minutes, 45 seconds as the Minutewomen closed a 16-point deficit to within one basket of the win at CMU. She also had all four of her points versus North Texas during the 12-2 game-defining run UMass used to win the contest late. She added 16 points during the pivotal second half vs. American after UMass entered the break only up by two and had 17 more in the second frame when the Minutewomen outscored Holy Cross by 12 points in the final half to earn a 72-61 win. Accuracy & Boards A Must Unsurprisingly, UMass secured wins in seven of the nine contests the Minutewomen earned a higher shooting percentage than their foes. They are 1-9 when the opposition shoots better. Simultaneously, UMass is 7-2 when outrebounding foes and 1-9 when the squad is out-rebounded. Defense Improved From 2013-14 UMass also hit more than 50 percent of its attempts in the 78-57 win at Boston University. The squad went 28-for-55 against the Terriers (50.9 percent).

The last Minutewoman to record a triple-double was Jennifer Butler, who accomplished the feat against Charlotte on Nov. 17, 2000 with 19 points, 11 rebounds and 10 steals. 2014-15 Season (Consecutive) Collegiate Careers (Total) GamesStarts 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 1 19 19 19 2 - 6 19 19 Shooting 55 percent or better from the field . . . .1-0 Shooting 50-54 percent from the field . . . . . . . . . 1-0 Shooting 45-49 percent from the field . . . . . . . . . 3-0 Shooting 40-44 percent from the field . . . . . . . . . 3-3 Shooting 35-39 percent from the field . . . . . . . . . 0-3 Shooting under 35 percent from the field . . . . . . 0-5 Out-rebounding opponent . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7-2 Teams have equal number of rebounds . . . . . . . 0-0 Opponents out-rebound UMass . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1-9 Minutewomen By Games Played And Started Minutewoman Cierra Dillard Amber Dillon Kymber Hill Leah McDerment Emily Mital Maggie Mulligan Kim Pierre-Louis Ciara Rosten Victoria Stewart Alyx Stiff Paula Tarnachowicz Rashida Timbilla Giving up 80+ points . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0-0 Giving up 70-79 points . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0-5 Giving up 60-69 points . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5-5 Giving up 50-59 points . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1-1 Giving up less than 50 points . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2-0 UMass allowed 79.9 points per game during the 2013-14 season during its 31-contest slate.

Pierre-Louis was 8-of-15 from the floor and earned seven of her boards on the defensive glass. The Minutewomen started strong with seven consecutive points to open the game, but the Broncos took control with a 21-0 run covering eight minutes, 11 seconds of game action during the first half. The response turned the home side’s 17-9 deficit into a 30-17 lead with 1:26 left in the first half. The Minutewomen trailed by 13 at the half and, after a strong WMU start to the second, were unable to get within 18 the remainder of the way. Massachusetts women’s basketball used balanced scoring to defeat Maine, 68-60, in the home-opener for UMass. Nine Minutewomen recorded points, led by Kim Pierre-Louis’ 19, as the squad shot 57.1 percent from the floor. The team’s shooting percentage was its best since UMass shot 61.1 percent (33-54) versus Kent State on Nov. 10, 2012 - a span of 61 games between outings. The Maroon and White went ahead for good during the middle of the second half when the Minutewomen went on a 12-0 run to stake themselves to a 21-13 lead. Maine was unable to pull closed than within eight the rest of the way as UMass combined its team offense with a feisty defense that created 17 turnovers to secure the win.

Rashida Timbilla provided a game-high 15 points for UMass, but the Minutewomen were unable to get by Florida State in a 73-47 loss. Cierra Dillard added six points, four steals, two assists and a pair of rebounds as UMass closed played at North Texas’ Hospitality Hill Challenge. The Seminoles scored eight straight to start the game but UMass then kept within striking distance early on the strength of forced turnovers and scoring in the paint by Timbilla, who had six straight for UMass, with the final of those closing the gap to 17-10 with 12:05 left in the first. FSU separated from UMass with a 12-3 streak ending with 77 seconds left in the first half, which gave the squad a 34-16 lead the Minutewomen were unable to drop below 17 the rest of the way. Early foul and turnover troubles hindered UMass as the Minutewomen fell to the Harvard Crimson, 75-62. Kim Pierre-Louis led the way in scoring for the Minutewomen - one of three UMass players to reach double figures - as she finished the game with 19 points. Despite having to contend with Harvard’s three-point accuracy, UMass trailed by just one, 33-32, heading into halftime. The Crimson jumped out to a 43-35 lead early in the second half, supported by a 10-3 run which included back-to-back triples from Curtis. An Emily Mital three-pointer midway through the stanza brought the Minutewomen as close as they would come to erasing the deficit the rest of the way, 53-48, but Harvard answered with a 7-2 streak after to push its lead back into double-digits.

Kim Pierre-Louis led the squad with a season-best 22 points while she chipped in four rebounds, three assists and three steals to the team effort. After they had trailed for all but 22 seconds of the final half, Rashida Timbilla gave the Minutewomen the lead back with a pair of made free throws at the 1:18 mark after she stole possession from Lewis and forced a foul at the other end. Pierre-Louis added a bucket as time expired on the shot clock with 19 seconds left to play and iced the game with a pair of free throws to reach the final. Kim Pierre-Louis and Cierra Dillard combined to score 40 points as UMass defeated American, 71-61. PierreLouis had 22 while Dillard provided 18, including 15 points during the pivotal second half.

Dillard spearheaded the stretch with seven points. Dumiak ended the run with another layup, but UMass responded with a Pierre-Louis bucket and Alyx Stiff three-pointer to push the advantage to 50-35 at the 10:22 mark.

The Minutewomen trailed at the break, 30-29, before Dillard and Pierre-Louis rallied the squad in the second half, when the duo combined for 31 points. Up three nearly halfway through the second, Dillard drained a three, Pierre-Louis connected on a layup and Dillard added a bucket plus one at the charity stripe to cap an 8-1 run that pushed the lead to 50-40 with 10:34 to play. The lead did not diminish to less than five points the rest of the way as Massachusetts used a 40-18 advantage in scoring in the paint to keep Holy Cross from a rally. UMass cut a 16-point second half deficit down to four but was unable to complete the rally against Ohio as the squad fell, 59-52. Holiday & Hoops All-Classic Team selection Rashida Timbilla earned her second consecutive double-double via 12 rebounds and 10 points while Kim Pierre-Louis led UMass in scoring with 12. After the Bobcats opened up their 16-point advantage only 62 seconds into the second half, UMass chipped away at the margin into the last minute of play.

UMass nearly overcame multiple 11-point deficits at Georgia State, but fell to the Panthers, 71-66 in the final minute of play. Kim Pierre-Louis had a team-high 17 points while Rashida Timbilla earned a double-double on 12 points and a career-high-tying 15 boards. Down 67-66 with 27 seconds left after Timbilla connected on a layup while being fouled, UMass was unable to score again. Timbilla’s free throw clanked off of the iron and the ball found its way to Ciara Rosten, but Rosten was called for traveling as she fought for a shot. UMass put Makaeba Ponder on the line, where she sank both attempts. UMass looked to Emily Mital for a potential gametying three-pointer, but Amber Dillon’s pass was stopped en-route with four seconds to play by Kayla Nolan. Kim Pierre-Louis led the charge with a career-best 33 points and UMass routed BU on the road, 78-57. PierreLouis’ scoring total marked the most for a Minutewoman since Melissa Gurile had 38 vs. Providence on Dec. 11, 1993. Up 29-23, UMass added a 13-4 run to balloon the advantage to 42-27. Emily Mital was crucial to the streak with a layup and 3-pointer while Kymber Hill added two buckets and Ciara Rosten closed the streak with layup of her own. UMass did not score after Amber Dillon’s layup with 3:26 left in the half. BU used the drought to put up the final five points of the frame and closed within 44-27 at the break. UMass responded with an 8-2 surge during the start of the half and BU was unable to close the gap below 16 points during the rest of the game.

The Minutewomen were within five points, 53-48, during the later stages of the second half, but a 10-point run by the Bonnies that stretched into the final minute of play put the comeback out of reach.

Cierra Dillard led UMass with 14 points and four assists and tied a career high with four steals, the third time she accomplished the feat. Rashida Timbilla added 10 points and eight boards while Leah McDerment scored 10 more, her first game in double figures.

Kim Pierre-Louis and Cierra Dillard scored 49 points combined on 26 from Pierre-Louis and 23 more by Dillard, including 18 from the freshman in the second half. UMass used a 12-2 run to pull in front, 43-42 after a Pierre-Louis free throw with 12 minutes, 25 seconds left to go. Dillard and Emily Mital combined for the other 11 points during the streak, but Saint Louis notched a 10-2 run only minutes later to push ahead for good. Jenny Vliet hit a pair of Saint Louis’ nine three-pointers to bookend the stretch while Sadie Stipanovich drained two jump shots in between. UMass withstood a furious rally by La Salle and edged the Explorers, 71-68 to improve to 8-8 overall and 2-2 in Atlantic 10 games. Kim Pierre-Louis led all scorers with 24 points and had her 10th double-double with 13 rebounds. Rashida Timbilla set a personal best with 17 rebounds while Cierra Dillard chipped in 13 points. The Minutewomen led by as much as 14 points during the first half, but La Salle cut that advantage down to one point on two occasions in the second half, lastly with six minutes, 45 seconds to play. However, UMass did not allow La Salle back in front as balanced scoring across five Minutewomen - led by four points apiece from Dillard, Amber Dillon and Pierre-Louis - secured the victory.

Sat., Jan. 24, 2015 // Robins Center; Richmond, Va. UMass was unable to rebound from a slow start against league-leading George Washington during a 69-54 loss. The Minutewomen found themselves down 18 points, 24-6 halfway through the opening stanza, but rallied back within eight points, 34-26 with 30 seconds left in the first. GW increased its lead to 10 at the break and used a 7-2 run at the start of the second to go up 43-28. Massachusetts was unable to get back within 10 during the remainder of play. Kim Pierre-Louis led UMass with 15 points while Kymber Hill chipped in 10 more. Rashida Timbilla grabbed 11 boards against the most successful rebounding team in the conference. It was her third game with at least 10 during conference play and eighth in double-digits during the current season. UMass started strong at Richmond but turnovers and off-target shots led to a 64-44 loss to the Spiders. Cierra Dillard and Amber Dillon led the Minutewomen with nine points each, but UMass gave the ball away 22 times, which resulted directly to 22 Richmond points. The Minutewomen earned a 13-10 lead as they hit six of their first 14 field goal tries, but Richmond’s full-court press interrupted UMass’ offensive flow and resulted in a six-point Richmond run.
