Junior Kristyanna Remillard (Abington, Mass.) scored seven of her team-high 16 points in the fourth to lead Curry.

The contest's lone double-double belonged to Curry junior Kathryn Dunn (Hanson, Mass.) who notched 10 points and a team-high 13 rebounds. Classmate Katelynn Smith (Hull, Mass.) also reached double figures for the visitors with 11 points in the defeat.
