McGrogan’s Career Night Lifts Women’s Basketball to 75-65 Triumph at Millersville



Junior Amanda McGrogan (Mount Laurel, NJ) finished with career highs of 28 points and 12 field goals, helping Goldey-Beacom pull away in the second half en route to a 75-65 victory at Millersville in Millersville, PA.
 
Goldey-Beacom (3-1), which trailed by as many as 32-22 midway through the second quarter, owned a 41-38 halftime lead by shooting 49 percent (19-of-39) from the floor and forcing nine turnovers.  McGrogan went off for 18 points on 8-of-13 shooting in the half with five rebounds, two assists and two steals.
 
Millersville (1-3) closed to 55-49 with 2:09 left in the third quarter, but GBC went on a 13-5 run over the next 5 1/2 minutes to open a 68-54 cushion with 6:03 remaining.  Freshman Sarah Round (Northampton, England) scored nine points in that span for the Lightning, who shot 5-of-8 from the floor and held the Marauders to just 2-of-9.
 
The Marauders scored the next five points to close to 68-59 with 3:41 to go, but McGrogan put things out of reach by nailing a 3-pointer with 3:25 left for a 12-point margin.
 
McGrogan finished by topping her career highs of 27 points February 21, 2017 at Chestnut Hill and eight baskets February 7, 2018 at Holy Family.  She also ended tonight with 11 rebounds, two off her career best, for her second career double-double to go with four assists, four steals and three 3-pointers.
 
Round had 12 points and five rebounds with senior Tanner Turner-Rush (Harrisburg, PA) adding 11 and seven for the Lightning, who shot 45 percent (33-of-73) from the floor and got a 47-37 rebounding edge for their first victory in seven all-time meetings.
 
Samantha Brusha scored 23 points, Kendra Bamberger had 13 and 10 rebounds with Lauren Lister netting 11 points for the Marauders, who only shot 34 percent (21-of-62) from the field.
 
Goldey-Beacom next Sunday is back on the road to face New York Tech for a 1:00 pm contest in Old Westbury, NY.
