BIDDEFORD, Maine – Maddy Foster of the Wentworth Institute of Technology women's basketball team became the 13th member of the program's 1,000 career points club Wednesday night in a Conference of New England showdown with the University of New England.

On a layup with just 4:48 to play in the fourth quarter, Foster earned the 999th and 1000th points of her storied career. She's the first student-athlete to hit the milestone since 2016.

The Nor'Easters' 76-45 win boosts their record to 9-7 and 6-3 in conference play. The Leopards fall to 2-14 and 0-9 in CNE play.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • The Nor'Easters began the night with a 12-0 run, featuring four points apiece from Grace Boucher and Faye Veilleux. A layup from Samantha Jones stopped the streak at the 3:13 mark before UNE finished the frame with a 5-2 run to hold a 17-4 advantage.
  • A trifecta by Jaylyn Bartolome helped UNE push their lead to 21-4 early in the second quarter before a 7-4 run, capped by a Boucher three, marked a 21-8 game.
