    RAPID REACTION w/ EMILY PRATT

    WENHAM, Mass. — The Endicott women's basketball team powered past Gordon College, 70-55, Saturday afternoon inside the Bennett Center in Commonwealth Coast Conference action.

    The Gulls' offense reached high-octane levels for their fourth conference victory of the season in which Endicott scored at least 70 points.

    In a game where they never trailed, the Gulls got out to a fast start, thanks in part to an 18-2 run over the first seven and a half minutes to begin the contest.

    At the half, Endicott took a 35-24 lead into the locker room and came out firing for a quarter-best 21 points in the third stanza to all but put the game out of reach.

    The Gulls led by as much as 20 with 7:22 left in the fourth quarter to cruise to their 20th straight victory over Gordon in the all-time series.
