WESTFIELD, Mass. – Senior forward Andrea Wasuk (Lenox) scored a game-high 23 points, including her 1,000th career point, to lead Westfield State to a 68-58 victory over Smith College in a non-conference women's basketball game on Tuesday, Nov. 18.

Wasuk entered the game with 978 career points and she reached the magic milestone by making a free throw with 2:23 remaining. She is the 11th player in the Westfield State women's basketball program to score 1,000 career points.

The 5-9 forward with Kevin McHale-like moves was 10-for-17 from the field and 3-for-3 from the foul line. She also had six rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes of action.

Wasuk scored 13 points in the first half to lead the Owls to a 31-26 lead at the intermission. Westfield led by as many as 16 points, 25-9, midway thru the first half, but the scrappy Smith squad used an harassing defense to get back into the game.

Smith trailed by two points, 35-33, with 17:00 minutes remaining, but Westfield went on a 20-2 run over the next six minutes. Keying the scoring surge were senior guards Lauren and Katie Sylvain (Hadley/Hopkins Academy) and sophomore center Cassy Jouannet (Conway/South Deerfield HS).

Katie Sylvain had 16 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and three steals. Lauren Sylvain scored 11 points and dished out five assists. Jouannet finished with eight points and six rebounds.

Jessica Welk scored a team-high 15 for Smith, including a 3-for-3 effort from 3-point range. Lisa Marie Vuona scored nine points.
