Women’s Basketball Handed 70-49 Loss by No. 5 USciences



Goldey-Beacom hung around with fifth-ranked University of the Sciences, only to be dealt a 70-49 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference loss at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.
 
The Lightning were in a 20-point hole late in the third quarter, but scored the next 11 points bridging the final two periods to close to 54-45 with 8:39 left.  Senior Tanner Turner-Rush (Harrisburg, PA) scored five points in that time and junior Amanda McGrogan (Mount Laurel, NJ) ended things on a layup.
 
But the Devils prevailed by scoring the next 13 points to open a 67-45 cushion with 3:08 to play.  Alex Thomas was a major force for USciences with nine points in that span, helping her unit shoot 5-of-7 from the field.
 
USciences prevailed in the fourth quarter by shooting 55 percent (6-of-11) from the floor and holding GBC to only 36 percent (5-of-14).
 
McGrogan again played great with 17 points and six assists for the Lightning, who shot 35 percent (18-of-52) from the field and 4-of-15 from 3-point range.  Turner-Rush scored 10 points and sophomore Alanna Speaks (Dover, DE) added six rebounds.
 
Turner-Rush now is tied for 10th in team history with 904 career points, McGrogan is third on the program's single-season free throw list with 117, she is sixth in single-season assists with 99 and freshman Sarah Round (Northampton, England) is second in single-season 3-pointers with 66.
 
Thomas netted 16 points to go with nine rebounds, Irisa Ye poured in 13 points and Jess Huber came off the bench to score 11 for the Devils (26-1, 17-1 CACC), who have won 15 straight.
 
Goldey-Beacom (12-14, 8-9) has a one-game lead over Wilmington (7-10) for the fourth and final conference tournament spot from the CACC South Division and a 1 1/2-game margin over Chestnut Hill (6-10).  The two formers have two games left and the latter has three.
 
Goldey-Beacom is on the road next Wednesday to visit Georgian Court.  Game time in Lakewood, NJ is 6:00 pm, which precedes the men's 8:00 pm contest.
