Box Score NORTHAMPTON, Mass.--Paulina Solis (Santa Ana, Calif./Foothill) led four Smith players in double-figures and the Smith College basketball team forced 36 turnovers in a 70-46 New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) win over Wheaton College (Mass.) on Saturday afternoon.

Smith is now 4-1 overall, and 2-0 in the NEWMAC, while Wheaton drops to 3-3, with a 1-1 ledger against NEWMAC opposition.

The Lyons committed 22 of those turnovers in the first half, as Smith broke open a close game.  Wheaton sank their first field goal on Abbie Brickley's bucket at the 16:32 mark of the first half, and did not make another field goal attempt until 9:04, when Jorden Mitchell ended the drought with a layup.  

Meanwhile, The Pioneers turned a 6-4 lead into an 11-4 lead on a three pointer from Rosa Drummond (Rye, N.H./Portsmouth) and a pair of free throws from Devon Quattrocchi (Brewster, N.Y./Brewster).  A layup from Lauren Weston (Florence, Mass./Northampton) and Solis' steal and fastbreak hoop put Smith up 19-6.

Two more free throws from Quattrocchi gave Smith its biggest advantage of the half at 38-15, and the Pioneers took a 40-20 lead into halftime.  

Solis scored six straight points in the early stages of the second half, knocking down a three point shot and converting a traditional three point play as Smith took a 48-24 lead at the 17:45 mark, but back-to-back layups by Brickley got Wheaton within 17 and forced Smith into a timeout.  

Alyssa Barrett (Berlin, Conn./Berlin)'s jumper gave Smith a 29 point (66-37) lead at the 7:55 mark, and Smith never led the lead get below 24 the rest of the way.  

Solis finished with 16 points, knocking down 6-of-11 field goals.  Devon Quattrocchi (Brewster, N.Y./Brewster) scored 14 points, connecting on all eight of her free throws, and passed out six assists.  The Pioneers had assists on 14 of 27 baskets.  Sydney Parkmond (Waterbury, Conn./Chase Collegiate) had 12 points, and Rosa Drummond (Rye, N.H./Portsmouth) had 10.

Brickley was the lone Lyon in double-digits with 16 points.  

Smith will continue NEWMAC play with a trip to Springfield College on December 4, while Wheaton will travel to WPI on the same day.  Both games tip-off at 7 p.m.
