Morristown, N.J. - The College of Saint Elizabeth's women's basketball team (15-8, 12-6 NEAC) blitzed past Cazenovia College on Senior Day, 86-60 on Sunday afternoon.

Playing in her final home game at CSE, Triplett scored five of the first seven points for the Eagles. Despite playing even over the next four minutes, Cazenovia knocked down four three-pointers to end the quarter to take a 21-17 lead into the second quarter.

The Eagles rolled out of the gate in the second quarter, scoring the first 13 points to take a 30-21 lead. Leading 37-28 with four minutes to play, CSE scored eight of the next nine points to take a 45-29 lead.

With the win, the Eagles clinched its first NEAC playoff birth in three seasons. CSE is still in contention to host a first round game on February 21, depending on if they finish second or third in the south division.
