NORTH ADAMS, Mass. -- Four Springfield College starters scored in double figures as the Pride women's basketball team opened up play with a 76-37 win over the MCLA Trailblazers in non conference action on Saturday.
 
The Pride and Trailblazers traded blows in the first quarter that ended with Springfield holding a slim 17-15 lead after Chelsea McAllister made a pair of free throws heading into the second quarter. MCLA's Mckenzie Robinson (Hoosac Valley) drilled a 3-pointer to open the second quarter to put the hosts on top 18-17, but that was followed by a Pride rally that MCLA had no answers for.
 
Springfield outscored MCLA, 21-4, to close out the quarter and amass a 38-22 lead at the half. 
 
MCLA could only muster 11 points between the pivotal second and third quarters.
 
Taylor Hall led all scorers with a game best 18 points and she added 5 rebounds. Gracie Restituyo chipped in with 13 points while Alex Goslin netted 11 and dished out 4 assists. Emily Jacques ended with 10 points.  Springfield shot a solid 50 percent from the floor and outrebounded MCLA 39-31 in the win.
 
The Trailblazers were paced by Robinson's team best 11 point night. The Pride defense held MCLA to just 26 percent shooting in the contest and forced 23 turnovers.
 
MCLA is back in action on Tuesday night when they travel to Cobleskill for another non league matchup with the Fighting Tigers.
