Senior Amanda McGrogan (Mount Laurel, NJ) became the 10th player in program history to reach 1,000 career points for Goldey-Beacom, which was handed a 74-69 loss at Southern New Hampshire in Manchester, NH.
McGrogan has been a solid scorer, competitor and teammate during her almost four seasons here and reaching quadruple digits was inevitable. A second team All-Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference pick and CACC All-Tournament selection from a season ago, McGrogan got the historic milestone on a layup in the opening minute of the second half after beginning the contest with 14 first-half points.
McGrogan overall poured in a game-high 25 points, which also is a season high, and now stands at 1,010 career. McGrogan also shot 11-of-20 from the floor and now has 346 career field goals, moving her into the program's top 10 list.
The Lightning played competitively the entire way and were within 60-59 with 6:49 to go on a 3-pointer from sophomore Sarah Round (Northampton, England).
But the Penmen scored the next eight points in roughly 2 1/2 minutes to gain a 68-59 cushion with 3:42 remaining. Molly Terry and Sarah Deyo netted three points apiece.
Round scored 16 points with senior Jill Latanowich (Newton, MA) adding 10 and seven rebounds for the Lightning (0-7), who shot 47 percent (30-of-64) from the field.
Terry netted 17 points, Ariana Koivisto scored 15, Jenna Roche poured in 12 with Deyo adding a game-high 14 rebounds for the Penmen (8-3), who were limited to just 37 percent (25-of-67) shooting and were forced into 17 turnovers.
