CALDWELL, N.J. -- Junior forward Harmony Earth-Wiley (Southfield, Mich.) grabbed a career-high 16 rebounds to go with eight points, three setals and two blocks and junior guard Brooke Corbett (Staten Island, N.Y.) secured her first career double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds as Caldwell women's basketball claimed a 54-38 triumph over Franklin Pierce in a non-league matchup at the Newman Center on Saturday afternoon.

Trailing, 19-12, midway through the second quarter, the Cougars closed the half with a 15-3 run, capped by a three-pointer by sophomore guard Shayne Eldridge (Howell, N.J.) for a 27-22 halftime advantage.

That's when the Cougars defense put the extra clamp on the Ravens (0-8), holding the visitors scoreless through the third period while building an 18-point lead at 40-22. 

FPU would close to within 11 with an early 7-0 spurt in the first three minutes of the fourth, but a jumper and layup by Corbett helped re-establish a 14-point lead before a three-pointer by junior guard Neysa Aguilar (Middlesex, M.J.), who finished with a game-high 13, ended all suspense with 3:10 left.

Corbett added five steals and a block to round out her all-around day, while senior forward Lucy Coogan (Kilkenny, Ireland) contributed 10 points and seven rebounds and junior guard Jah'Nel Lewis (Jersey City, N.J.) pitched in nine points, five rebounds and five assists.

The game also marked the third time this season that the Cougars have held a team under 40 points. Laia Llorento had team-bests of eight points and eight rebounds for the Ravens.

Caldwell (7-3) next hosts CACC foe Wilmington on Friday at 4 p.m. at the Newman Center.
