Choi Records 1,000th Career Point; Women’s Basketball Defeats Regis, 73-40

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A 10-0 run during the final two minutes of the second quarter helped MIT pull away and capture a 73-40 victory over Regis College in non-conference women's basketball action on Thursday afternoon. Senior Angie Choi (Cypress, Calif.) led all players with 22 points, eight rebounds, and three assists as she became the 12th player in program history to eclipse 1,000 career points. Junior Madi Zancan (Cumberland, R.I.) powered the Pride with 12 points and six rebounds.
