BETHLEHEM, Pa. - The Northampton women's basketball season saw its season come to a heartbreaking end on Saturday afternoon, falling to Ocean County College, 62-60, in the Region XIX semifinals at the Arthur L. Scott Center. 

Zeniyah Sanders (Northampton, PA/Northampton ) scored 20 points and grabbed a game-high 14 rebounds and Julia Craig (Saylorsburg, PA/Pleasant Valley) added 13 points and 8 rebounds.

"I can't say enough about my team," remarked Head Coach Tara Belfield, "we really worked hard game-planning for Ocean and the girls did a tremendous job defensively today. We knew we had to change some things up after our first meeting (an 87-69 Ocean victory on January 21st in Toms River, NJ) and I thought the girls executed the game plan well ... unfortunately we came up a couple points short."

Ocean, 23-4, will face Middlesex (25-3) in the Region XIX Championship game on Sunday February 28th at Northampton at 12pm. 

Northampton, the #3 seed, finishes the season with an overall record of 20-5.
