Women’s Basketball Captures Eighth Straight, 78-70 at Wilmington



Lexi Bruno (Millville, NJ) poured in 27 points and fellow junior Britani Bryson (Hampton, VA) recorded her latest double-double to help Goldey-Beacom notch its eighth straight win, 78-70 over Wilmington (DE) in Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference play in Newark, DE.
 
GBC had control most of the way and separated itself in the third quarter with an 18-6 run over four minutes, grabbing a 62-45 lead late in the period.  Sophomore Tanner Turner-Rush (Harrisburg, PA) continued her impeccable play with seven points in that span and Bruno added six.
 
The Wildcats would not go away, scoring six straight points midway through the fourth to close to 65-60 with 4:38 remaining.  Jasmine Lee netted four points during that time.
 
Freshman Nina Bartlette (Winthrop, MA) canned two free throws for the Lightning before Lashyra Williams made an old-fashioned three-point play, moving the Wildcats within 67-63 with 1:55 to play.
 
Bruno then calmed everyone's nerves by making a layup with 1:41 to go for a 69-63 margin.  Freshman Amanda McGrogan (Mount Laurel, NJ) then went 1-for-2 from the line with 93 seconds left for a seven-point game and extend Goldey-Beacom's longest run since winning a school-record nine in a row during the 2012-13 season.
 
Two days after netting a career-best 38 points against Shippensburg, Bruno came back by going 10-for-12 from the line to go with six rebounds, four assists and four steals.  Bryson hauled in 19 rebounds to fall two short of her personal best and scored 13 points for her seventh double-double this season and fifth in the last six games.
 
Bryson now had 651 career rebounds, moving her into sixth place in school history.
 
McGrogan scored a season-best 14 points, Turner-Rush added 10 with Bartlette getting nine and eight rebounds for GBC (9-5, 5-1 CACC), which has won eight straight road games in the series and holds a half-game lead over University of the Sciences (4-1) atop the South Division.
 
Williams had 16 points and 11 rebounds, Macy Robinson netted 13 points and Ebonee Dixon added 10 before fouling out for Wilmington (4-8, 2-3), which was held to just 37 percent shooting (25-of-68) and committed 21 turnovers.
 
Goldey-Beacom is off until December 30, when it visits Saint Rose for a 1:00 pm contest in Albany, NY.
