DANBURY, Conn. - Junior guard Nicole Vivian (New Milford, Conn.) poured in a game-high 18 points while graduate student forward Katelyn Fanning (Dobbs Ferry, N.Y.) chipped in with 15 to lead the Western Connecticut State University women's basketball squad to an 83-39 victory over visiting non-league foe Fitchburg State College in the final game of the two-day Hat City Tournament on Saturday afternoon at Feldman Arena. 

With the win, the Wolves improved to 9-1 overall, while the Falcons dropped to 2-9. Mitchell College coasted past SUNY Delhi, 101-30, in the other tournament matchup earlier in the day. 

Rookie forward Juliana Davis (Templeton, Mass.) was the lone player to reach double figures for the visitors, finishing with 10 points.

The hosts jumped out to an early 16-10 lead to conclude the opening quarter. They followed it up with a monstrous second quarter effort, outscoring the visitors 27-6 in the stanza. 

Vivian ignited the flurry with a mid-range jumper before sophomore forward Rosaleen Regan (Monroe, N.J.) wrapped up the spurt, sinking another shot, widening the WestConn advantage to 43-16 at the break.

It was more of the same in the second half as Fitchburg could not build any momentum the rest of the way.

WestConn finished the contest, sinking a staggering 6-of-11 (54 percent) of their shots from beyond-the-arc. The reserves also outscored the Falcon bench, 37-17. 

Fanning earned All-Tournament accolades for the hosts. Joining her were Fitchburg sophomore guard Morgan Genness (Belgrade, Maine), Delhi junior guard Angelica Lazo (Elmont, N.Y.) and Mitchell senior guard Sam McKenna (Millbrook, N.Y.).

The Wolves return to action for their Little East Conference opener at Keene State on Saturday at 1 p.m.
