BOSTON, Mass. – Solid shooting throughout the lineup guided James Madison women's basketball to a 67-49 win at Northeastern on Sunday afternoon, closing out a three-game road swing.

The Dukes (16-6, 9-2) pushed out to a double-digit lead during the 24-8 second quarter and never let the Huskies (7-16, 3-8) get closer than 13 after halftime. JMU shot 43.6 percent (24-55) from the floor while limiting Northeastern to 30.8 percent shooting (16-52).

All nine Dukes who saw playing time scored, led by 29 points from redshirt senior guard Precious Hall and 10 points from sophomore guard Logan Reynolds, her second consecutive double-figure scoring performance.

JMU won the battle of the boards 37-35, powered by a game-high nine rebounds from Kamiah Smalls. The Dukes also had four blocks, led by a career-high tying two from sophomore forward Savannah Felgemacher.
