Salem CC women fall

By Riverview Sports News

CARNEYS POINT — The Salem CC women were shorthanded to begin with and finished the game less than full strength and fell to Mercer CC 94-54 Tuesday night.

The Mighty Oaks (2-11), who postponed their previous two games due to a limited roster, started the game with six players and ended the game with four on the floor. They played the last 5:39 with four.

Salem’s offense was led by Tanijya Shaw (21) and Paula Wilson (career-high 20). Shaw was 10-of-17 from the field. Wilson hit five 3-pointers.

Qui-Mia Wilkins gave 15th-ranked Mercer (13-3) a triple-double (game-high 29 points, 10 rebounds and 10 steals). Mercer forced the Mighty Oaks into 34 turnovers, off which they scored 47 points.
