LEWISTON — Nina Davenport of Freeport registered 18 points, nine rebounds and five steals, and Brunswick native Lyse Henshaw scored 16 of her season high 18 points in the first half as the Bates College women’s basketball team ran past Husson University, 64-47 for its third straight victory Saturday afternoon in Alumni Gymnasium.

Davenport got into the act with her first trey with 8:26 to go in the second quarter, giving Bates its first double-digit lead at 22-12. Husson missed eight straight shots as Henshaw expanded Bates’ lead to 27-12 with a layup and a 3-pointer. A Davenport steal led to a pair of free throws by Sara Binkhorst for a 29-12 lead with 5:34 to go.

Davenport opened the scoring in the third quarter with a 3-pointer for a game-high 18-point lead at 42-24, but Husson answered with an 8-1 run to close the gap to 43-32 with 6:44 left.

Husson outscored Bates 17-12 in the third quarter, with Davenport scoring nine of Bates’ 12 points in the period.

Binkhorst sank a 3-pointer on a Henshaw assist 13 seconds into the fourth quarter, and Husson failed to get closer than 11 points the rest of the way, as the Eagles were limited to six points, shooting 3-of-11 from the floor and committing eight of their 18 turnovers in the final frame.
