Lawson leads charge in sixth straight win for women's basketball

ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. -- Freshman point guard Lydia Lawson put on a show for the home crowd and the Elizabethtown College women's basketball won its sixth straight game in a 63-42 win over Cabrini in non-conference action Saturday afternoon at Thompson Gymnasium. Lawson recorded a season and career-best 24 points to lead the charge. E-town has won ten of its first 11 games for the first time since the 2013-14 season.

Lawson shredded the Cabrini (4-7) defense in the first quarter, scoring 11 of the first 15 points for Elizabethtown (10-1) and 11 of the team's 19 first-quarter points. She connected on four shots, as many as the Cavaliers hit as a team. Lawson outscored Cabrini on her own, 11-9.

Her 11-point output in the opening ten minutes was already a season-best for the Holy Redeemer grad, and she wasn't quite done.

Lawson and Emily Martin carried the offense through the second quarter as the Blue Jays struggled from the field. The Cavaliers outscored E-town 14-9 in the second and trailed 28-23 at the half. Martin posted six second quarter points with a pair of field goals and 2-for-3 at the foul line.

The game dramatically shifted in the third quarter as Elizabethtown outscored Cabrini 25-5, with the Cavaliers only going 1-for-10 from the floor. The Blue Jays ended the third on a 16-0 run and held Cabrini scoreless over the final 3:49 of the period to take a five-point lead and turn it into a 25-point advantage by the fourth.

Lawson added seven more in the third quarter on 3-for-4 shooting, including her third trey of the game. Martin got the foul line, as she has done all season, and went 5-for-6 in the quarter and had a team-high nine in the third. Julia Craig added six on a perfect 3-for-3 from the field.

Cabrini took a chunk out of the lead in the first four minutes of the fourth and got back within 17, but Emma Hoesman and Martin both connected on layups off of Cabrini turnovers and got the 20-point plus lead back and that's where it stayed the remainder of the game.

Elizabethtown forced 23 turnovers and turned them into 22 points, a distinct edge as the Cavaliers only had five points off turnovers.

Lawson ended up 9-for-17 for the game and made four of her eight three-point attempts to lead the Jays with 24 in teh game. She also dished out four assists and had a pair of steals. Martin hit the 20-point mark for the sixth time in 11 games and finished two boards shy of her ninth double-double. She blocked two shots and had four steals.

The women's basketball team will jump back into conference play to begin the New Year and will host defending champion and nationally-ranked Scranton on Saturday, January 7 at 2 p.m.
