Shanahan draws closer to scoring milestone as College of StatenIsland women roll, 72-48Published: Thursday, January 13, 2011, 12:31 AMBy Jim WaggonerAllie Shanahan will have to wait at least another day to join the 1,000-point club, but the College of StatenIsland senior seemed to be in no hurry during Wednesday night’s 72-48 victory over visiting City Tech.Shanahan had a typically nice game — 18 points, nine rebounds, four assists and three steals — but the tall,graceful player who wears jersey No. 15 still needs 15 points to become the 15th player in school history toreach the scoring milestone.“She let the game come to her, she didn’t rush things,” said CSI coach Marguerite Moran of the 5-foot-11guard/forward out of St. John Villa. “We know she’ll get it, but we’re not really worried when.”The Dolphins were more concerned about securing a win in a bumpy season. They pulled away from theYellow Jackets with a spurt early in the second half, unleashing their uptempo attack and shooting 50.9percent for the game.CSI improved to 2-2 in the CUNY Conference and 3-9 overall as sophomore guard Olivia Tierno led the waywith 23 points. Katelyn Hepworth had a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Jaclyn Toccohad eight assists, six rebounds and three steals.“We attacked the basket well,” said Moran. “We had a little fun playing basketball tonight.”Shanahan hit 8 of 16 shots from the floor, including a pair of 3-pointers. She needed 33 to reach 1,000, butthat was asking too much for the team-oriented senior who scored nine points in each half.The Dolphins move on to three-time defending CUNY champion Baruch Friday night. The Bulldogs are 4-0 inconference play and 11-3 overall.NOTES: City Tech dropped to 1-3 and 3-10.
