Women’s Basketball Notches 77-72 Triumph Over Caldwell

Goldey-Beacom saw four players score in double figures as the team notched its third victory in the last four contests, a 77-72 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference win over Caldwell at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.
 
In a contest that basically was played at a standstill most of the way, Goldey-Beacom scored 16 straight points bridging the third and fourth periods for a 64-53 lead with 5:51 remaining.  Junior Amanda McGrogan (Mount Laurel, NJ) scored eight points in that time for the Lightning, who shot 6-of-8 from the floor and held the Cougars to 0-of-6.
 
GBC held a 67-58 cushion with 4:28 remaining before Caldwell scored six straight to get within three.  Tina Lebron ended the run on a layup with 3:06 to go.
 
The Lightning needed a big bucket and got it with 2:24 remaining when freshman Sarah Round (Northampton, England) canned a 3-pointer for a 70-64 margin.  Lebron again made it a three-point game by hitting her own triple with 2:09 left.
 
But GBC finally put away things on McGrogan's layup with 1:48 to go and freshman Alexis Harrison (Millville, NJ) following suit with 67 seconds remaining for a 74-67 cushion, ending its five-game skid in the series.
 
McGrogan scored 22 points on 7-of-13 shooting with four 3-pointers and four assists, giving her 18.0 points per game over her last eight contests.  Round netted 20 points, Harrison poured in 16 on 7-of-10 shooting along with sophomore Alanna Speaks (Dover, DE) adding 12 and eight rebounds.
 
Senior Tanner Turner-Rush (Harrisburg, PA) also had two steals, moving her into a tie for eighth place in team history at 120 with Natasha Scott (2004-08).
 
The Lightning (8-8, 4-3 CACC) also forced 20 turnovers, making it seven of the last 11 contests they have induced their opponents into at least 19.
 
Andie Lennon netted 25 points on 11-of-16 shooting, Lebron scored 18 and Alessia Smaldone added 17 for the Cougars (3-11, 3-4), who shot 53 percent (30-of-57) from the field but only went 2-for-3 from the line. 
 
Goldey-Beacom does not play again until next Saturday, when it visits Bloomfield for a 1:00 pm game in Bloomfield, NJ.
