Bentley, deemed the preseason favorite in the 16-team conference, has won three in a row, all against NE-10 opponents, after a season-opening loss to nationally-ranked Holy Family.
The conference’s weekly honor roll included Bentley senior forward Elise Caira (Wakefield/ Arlington Catholic HS), who averaged 14 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists during the 2-0 week. The team’s leading scorer (12.0 ppg) had a season-best 19 points and nine rebounds in a 72-48 win over Saint Anselm.
Bentley is back in action Wednesday night at UMass-Lowell (5:30 pm).
