Defensively, the Judges held a Bowdoin team that had scored 75 points the night before against Western Connecticut State University to just 44 Sunday. The Polar Bears shot just 22 percent for the game, while the Judges shot 51 percent for the game and 47.1 percent from behind the three-point line.
"We kept playing hard, regardless of the score, and that was one thing we were stressing-regardless of the score we have to keep playing, keep pushing," Simon said. "We wanted to dictate the tempo."
Simon added that "by pushing the ball [and] playing good defense," the team hoped to control the game's speed.
"When we're the ones dictating [the tempo], they have to react to us," she said.
The Judges got to the championship by defeating Widener University 67-48 last Saturday night. Orlando and Chapin led the scoring, with 15 and 13 points respectively. Forward Kasey Gieschen '10 had an active role off the bench with six points and two assists in just 10 minutes of action.
The Judges next host Wellesley College tonight at 5:30 p.m. before traveling to No. 16 Tufts University Sunday at 2 p.m. Tufts was one of the final eight teams remaining in the NCAA Tournament last season.
