Powering the Red Flash to back-to-back victories, the NEC’s leading scorer (21.8 ppg) closed out the regular season in style. Kovatch, who shot 49 percent from the field, averaged a league-best 28.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.5 assist per win last week. The sophomore guard, who went a perfect 9-for-9 from the charity stripe, poured in 57 points in 73 minutes. Eclipsing the 20-point mark for the third game in a row, Kovatch tallied 22 points and seven rebounds during Saturday’s triumph over Fairleigh Dickinson. Two days later, she poured in 35 points against a team that was tied for first place. Kovatch, who sank six three-pointers, victimized Sacred Heart to the tune of 12-for-21 shooting. She also made six steals in the 83-69 victory. The Garden State product averages 3.62 three-pointers per game, a mark that ranks second overall amongst NCAA Division I leaders.
