Babe’s sensational shooting and premium play helped Central Connecticut lock up the No. 5 seed in the upcoming NEC Tournament. Spearheading Central’s winning effort against Robert Morris and Saint Francis U, the dynamic 5-foot-8 guard averaged 23.5 points, 4.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals per outing. She made 17 of 27 (.630) field goal attempts and shot 80 percent from the free throw line over the final weekend of the NEC regular season schedule. With CCSU needing a win to clinch a return to the postseason following last year’s absence, Babe provided 18 points, on 56 percent shooting, and eight assists to steer the Blue Devils past Robert Morris on Saturday. The Pennsylvania product’s shooting was even sharper in Monday night’s regular season finale against Saint Francis. Babe made 8 of 11 shots from the field and connected on 12 of 14 attempts from the charity stripe in the 76-71 triumph over the Red Flash. The 29 points she scored stand as her third-highest single-game total of the season.
