Women's Hoop Stays Hot with Sixth Straight Win

Andrades Tallies Triple-Double

(Holyoke, MA) - Women's basketball continues to roll, extending their winning streak to six straight games on Tuesday evening. The Lady Cougars hosted Bristol CC in a matchup that would likely decide who finishes the regular season in second place in the New England (Region XXI) standings. Holyoke came out strong on their way to a 62-36 victory, and with two regular season games remaining they hold the second-place spot.    

Johanys Andrades (Springfield, MA / Putnam Vocational Technical HS) achieved an impressive feat in the win, registering a triple-double. Andrades led the Cougars in rebounds with 15 and assists with 11 and scored ten points to earn the rare accomplishment. Vivian Timmons (West Springfield, MA / Guilderland HS) tallied a double-double in the victory, leading Holyoke in points with 17 while grabbing 11 rebounds. Timmons sank four three-pointers on Tuesday and now has hit 35 from long range this season.  

Women's basketball has an 11-3 regional record and a 13-7 overall record. They will travel for their next game before their regular season finale at home on Friday, February 20th. The Lady Cougars will host Bunker Hill CC at 5:30pm for that finale, which will also be Holyoke's sophomore night. Let's go Cougars!
