Decisive Fourth Quarter Leads Women’s Basketball to 89-64 Triumph at Nyack



Goldey-Beacom pulled away in the fourth quarter and moved into a first-place tie in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference South Division with a convincing 89-64 win at Nyack in Nyack, NY.
 
The Lightning held a 61-53 lead at three-quarter time before they took over with a 28-11 fourth period, keyed by a 15-0 run that started late in the third for a 73-53 margin with 6:23 left.  Junior Lexi Bruno (Millville, NJ) paced GBC with seven points, but 3-pointers on consecutive possessions from freshman Mara Poch (Girona, Spain) proved to be the difference.
 
Poch ended the fourth quarter with nine points and junior Britani Bryson (Hampton, VA) added seven for the Lightning, who shot 10-of-12 from the field in the stanza and held the Warriors to a mere 4-of-15.
 
Bruno overall scored 25 points on 8-of-14 shooting to go with eight assists and four steals.  She moves into fourth place in school history with 1,404 points and also has 402 career assists, just 14 away from the top spot held by Devonne Richardson (2009-13).
 
Bryson had 23 points, 11 rebounds and shot 13-for-14 from the line for her career-best 13th double-double of the season and sixth in the last seven contests.  She needs just 15 points to become the ninth player in school history to reach 1,000 career.
 
Poch netted 15 points on five 3-pointers – both career highs – and freshman Amanda McGrogan (Mount Laurel, NJ) added 12 points for the Lightning, who shot 50 percent (29-of-58) from the floor with 12 three-pointers and went 19-for-22 from the line.
 
Bryanna Brown poured in 19 points, Tayelor McCalister netted 13 and Kelli Smoot added 10 for the Warriors (3-16, 2-11 CACC), who only shot 29 percent (20-of-70) from the field with 17 turnovers.
 
Goldey-Beacom (14-8, 10-3) moves into a tie with U. of the Sciences (10-3) thanks to the latter's setback today at Caldwell.  In reaching double figures in conference wins for the seventh time in the last eight seasons, the Lightning's magic number for clinching a spot in the CACC Tournament shrunk to four.
 
Bryson in the first half controlled the paint with 16 points and seven rebounds in addition to going 10-for-11 from the foul line, helping Goldey-Beacom to a 43-34 lead.  Bruno added nine points for the Lightning, who shot 43 percent (13-of-30) from the field and held the Warriors to only 30 percent (12-of-40).
 
GBC also shot 15-for-17 from the line in the half and Nyack was just 7-for-10.
 
Goldey-Beacom on Wednesday visits Philadelphia U. with the women's game starting at 6:00 pm and the men going at 8:00 pm.
