CALDWELL, N.J. – Senior forward Jeanette Anderson (Lynn, MA/Lynn) registered 22 points and a career-high 21 rebounds, including the 1,000th rebound of her career, as the Caldwell College women's basketball team defeated Nyack College, 72-62 in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference game Tuesday night at the George R. Newman Center. The Cougars improve to 11-7 overall and 9-2 in conference play, while the Warriors drop to 5-14, 4-8 CACC.

Anderson, who entered the game with 989 career rebounds, gathered in the historic carom at the 12:47 mark of the second half. She joins former Cougar standouts Nicole Campbell and Antrinette Barrino as the only Caldwell women's basketball players to record 1,000 rebounds in a career.

Baskets by Caswell and sophomore guard Nicole Angelo (Mount Laurel, NJ/Camden Catholic) to open the second half pushed the lead to 35-18 before the Warriors made a comeback attempt.
