Framingham, Mass.- Framingham State senior Emily Velozo scored a career-high 33 points including 18 points in the first quarter to send the Rams over Maine- Fort Kent 89-67 in non-conference action Saturday evening in Framingham.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • The Rams pushed their 1st quarter lead to 18 points (27-18) to end the period, largely thanks to 18 points from Velozo. The Bengals however stormed back in the 2nd when Ranika Guyton cut the Rams advantage to three midway through the period.
  • The Rams pushed their lead back to 12 capped via a Velozo layup near the end of the half as the teams went into the break with FSU up 50-40.
  • Framingham came out of the half on fire scoring the first 13 points of the frame and breaking off a 20-to-3 run over the first five plus minutes of the third on their way to putting the game away in the third quarter outscoring their opponent 27-9.
