Posted

On a Senior Day when she was the lone senior being honored, Tiara White collected 13 points and 14 rebounds to pace the Wesley College women’s basketball squad to a 63-58 win over St. Mary’s in its season finale on Saturday.

The Wolverines finish the season 6-12 in the Capital Athletic Conference, 7-19 overall.

The senior was one of four Wolverines to finish in double-digits as Monshea Newsome-Murray (Seaford) led the team with a career-high 17 points. The freshman also finished with eight rebounds, four assists, and three steals.

Alexus Stroud (Smyrna) finished with 15 while Brionna Johnson (Smyrna) netted 10 and pulled down 12 rebounds for her 11th double-double of the season.

The Wolverines forced the Seahawks into 20 turnovers, eight of them coming on Wesley steals.

St. Mary’s started the fourth quarter on a 6-0 run to tie the game. But, over the next three minutes, the Wolverines went on a 13-6 run to regain a seven-point advantage, capped by a crucial three-pointer from Brittney Kerns.

Kerns’ three gave Wesley a 57-50 lead with just under three minutes remaining. In the final minutes, Wesley went 6-for-6 from the foul line, including 4-for-4 by White, to seal the win.

White finishes her career in the top 15 in program history in career rebounds despite only playing three years for the Wolverines.
