Hatters Cruise Past NJIT 72-53

Michelle Pruitt Goes For 19 Points and 18 Rebounds

Newark, N.J. -- Freshman Michelle Pruitt registered career-highs of 19 points and 18 rebounds as visiting Stetson defeated NJIT 72-53 Saturday afternoon at the Wellness and Events Center.

The Hatters (15-11, 6-4 ASUN) shot 46 percent from the floor and pulled down 50 rebounds to earn their 15th victory of the season.  

"After the first quarter I thought we played pretty well," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said.  "I thought our rebounding was great.  I thought Michelle Pruitt was a monster the entire game.  She is playing with a lot of confidence and it is really nice to see."

Pruitt had her third double-double of the season by halftime after scoring nine straight points for the Hatters to close the second quarter.  She finished the game 8-for-9 from the floor and 3-for-6 from the free throw line.

Also for Stetson, Brittney Chambers scored 17 points and McKenna Beach added 13.  Beach also recorded her 100th assist of the season.  Megan Vincent collected nine points and eight rebounds.

The Hatters will travel to Spartanburg, S.C. to face USC Upstate at 7 p.m. Monday.
