The Rivier University Women's Basketball team suffered a tough 77-66 defeat this evening to Fisher College in a non-association, non-conference contest held at the Fecteau-Leary Gymnasium. The loss sends the Raiders to an overall record of 0-6 while the Falcons continue their hot start at 7-1.

Senior Kaylee Kacavas (Dracut, Mass.) led the way for Rivier with a team-high 24 points and classmate Megan Hamel (Colebrook, N.H.) recorded a double-double of 14 points and 13 rebounds. Freshman Cydney Lessard (Auburn, N.H.) added 15 points, including a perfect 7-for-7 from the line, for the Raiders in the loss.

The Falcons were guided by the sharp-shooting of junior Vivian Lara (Norwalk, Calif.), who netted the game-high of 37 points on 13-of-24 shooting from the field while collecting 11 rebounds for her own double-double. Fellow junior Jenny-Lynn Eggers (Sonoma, Calif.) chipped in with 17 points and freshman Shaniah Hazard (Providence, R.I.) pulled down 13 rebounds off the bench.

Fisher will host the College of Saint Joseph (Vt.) in their next scheduled contest on Wednesday, November 28th at 5pm.
