The College of New Jersey jumped out to a quick 7-0 lead and never trailed en route to a 65-52 victory over Bridgewater College in the first round of the NCAA Division III Women’s Basketball Tournament played Friday at the University of Mary Washington.
New Jersey stretched its early lead to double digits and led 16-4 on Sara Best’s jumper with 12:09 left in the first half.

New Jersey outscored the Eagles 13-4 in the first five minutes of the second half to take a 43-27 lead. Once again, the Eagles refused to go away and they battled to stay within striking distance.
Bridgewater finally got the lead back to single digits when Jordan Burkholder connected from 3-point land to pull the Eagles to within seven, 46-39, with 9:32 left to play. Hillary Klimowicz scored after an offensive rebound to push the lead to nine, but Kristin Bosserman answered with a layup, making the score 48-41 with 8:32 left.
The Eagles had a chance to cut further into the deficit following a Lions’ turnover, but Bosserman missed a 3-pointer and New Jersey tallied at other end on a 3-pointer by Nicole Diaz to put the Lions on top 51-41 with 7:45 remaining.
The New Jersey lead remained in double figures the rest of the way as they closed out the contest with a 61-48 final margin of victory.
Burkholder lead the Eagles with team highs of 15 points and six rebounds. Senior Jessica Timberlake added 13 points in her final game as an Eagle.
Best scored 19 points to lead New Jersey and Klimowicz, the Lion’s 6-foot-3 center, finished with 16 points and eight rebounds.
