WALTHAM, Mass. – Julia Elie notched her first double-double of the season, and Cassidy Yeomans scored a team-high 15 points to lead the No. 18 Bentley women's basketball team to a 66-48 win over Holy Family Sunday afternoon.

The non-conference game was a rematch of last year's NCAA DII East Regional Championship game in which the Falcons were victorious, reaching the Elite Eight for the 15^th time in program history.

Elie scored 10 points and pulled down 10 boards in Sunday's game, while Yeomans shot 5-for-7 from beyond the arc. Yeomans set a personal best for 3-point makes in a game.

Bentley (6-1) has been superb in the first quarter so far this season, and it was no different Sunday afternoon. When Yeomans hit a 3-pointer with three minutes left in the first quarter, it gave the Falcons a 17-3 lead.

Holy Family (8-3) battled back in the second quarter and tied the game, 27-27. The Tigers' halfcourt trap flustered the Falcons for a good portion of the period. But Yeomans closed out the first half with another 3-pointer, allowing the Falcons to take a 30-27 lead into halftime.

Bentley's lead went back to double digits, 44-34, when Elie hit a jumper with 3:44 left in the third quarter. Elie beat the third-quarter buzzer with a layup that pushed the lead to 51-38.

After starting the season with a loss, Bentley's winning streak is up to six games. Each of the Falcons' wins have been decided by double digits.
