It was Clark\u2019s first appearance in the conference title game since 2005. Coach Bridgette Reyes\u2019 squad finished the season with a 19-9 record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cougars reached the NEWMAC Tournament for the 18th time and won their first tournament game since 2017 with a decisive victory over WPI in the quarterfinals, earning them their eighth semifinal appearance in program history. Clark advanced to the final with a 68-51 victory against Babson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Against No. 1-ranked Smith (27-1), Clark led going into the fourth quarter, but the Bears rallied for the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the loss, Clark players put forth a tremendous effort. Among the impressive numbers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clark made 22 shots, hit 10 three-pointers, grabbed 26 rebounds, dished out seven assists, and forced 18 turnovers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Atiya Watson \u201929 netted a career-high 24 points with seven made shots, connected on seven free throws, and hit three triples.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kailey Rios \u201927 added 11 points, made three 3-pointers, and tallied three steals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emma Drefs \u201927 also reached double figures with 10 points and a pair of threes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The men\u2019s team (12-13) also earned a berth in the NEWMAC tournament before losing a hard-fought quarterfinal battle to Salve Regina, 67-61.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
