Women’s Basketball Rallies for 69-63 Win Over Holy Family



Junior Lexi Bruno (Millville, NJ) scored 20 points and sophomore Tanner Turner-Rush (Harrisburg, PA) canned the go-ahead 3-pointer for Goldey-Beacom, which rallied in the second half for an historic 69-63 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference triumph over Holy Family at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.
 
Holy Family led most of the way, building a 52-42 lead with 1:15 left in the third quarter courtesy of a 14-6 run that required just under five minutes.  Jill Conroy scored six points in that span for the Tigers and Abigail Iannotti continued what was a dominating night with four.
 
The Lightning then struck for the next 10 points to forge a 52-52 tie with 8:38 to play.  Junior Britani Bryson (Hampton, VA) netted five points in that time and Turner-Rush buried a 3-pointer.
 
The lead would not be more than three for almost the entire quarter and Holy Family took its final advantage, 63-62, with 2:15 to go when Conroy hit two free throws.
 
GBC on its next possession worked the ball inside to Bryson and then she kicked it out to Turner-Rush, who canned a huge 3-pointer with 2:01 to play to give her side a 65-63 margin.
 
The teams traded missed 3-pointers before Holy Family got the ball with under a minute left.  Conroy was looked at to deliver the equalizer, but she missed and Bryson hauled in the rebound.  Bruno then had her number called and she came through on a layup with 28 seconds left for a 67-63 game that all but ended things.
 
Turner-Rush scored 15 points on five 3-pointers with Bryson netting 13 points and freshman Nina Bartlette (Winthrop, MA) adding 11 for the Lightning, who have won four of their last five games.
 
Iannotti simply was a sight to watch with 24 points on 11-of-20 shooting and 18 rebounds in an astonishing performance.  Conroy added 22 for the Tigers (5-15, 4-8 CACC), who shot 40 percent (25-of-62) from the floor.
 
GBC (13-8, 9-3) notched its first victory in Pike Creek against Holy Family in 17 all-time tries and remains one game in back of U. of the Sciences (10-2) for first place in the CACC South Division.  The victory also was the 50th for fourth-year coach Bethann Burke.
 
Goldey-Beacom is on the road Saturday at Nyack at 1:00 pm with the men's game at 3:00 pm following it.
