Spread out scoring leads women's basketball to First Round win over Moravian

ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. -- Five players reached double figures for the Elizabethtown College women's basketball team in Tuesday night's First Round win over Moravian at Thompson Gymnasium. Summer McNulty led the Blue Jays with 17 points while Allyia Kennedy added a career-high 16 off the bench. Jessica King recorded another double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds as Etown won handily, 87-57.

It took a few to get going, but once they did, Elizabethtown (19-7) went and never looked back. DaniRae Renno connected on consecutive layups, King grabbed one of her three offensive rebounds for the putback and McNulty knocked down a jumper in the paint and a shot from beyond the arc as the Jays went up 11-4 with a little over half the first to go. Etown took a 24-12 lead into the second.

Moravian (8-18) was able to get the deficit back into single digits as the Blue Jays got into some foul trouble in the second. The Greyhounds converted 8-of-10 from the foul line and were 12-for-15 in the first half. Moravian couldn't get closer than nine though as the Etown offense was too much. McNulty and Lindsay Boyd had nine points apiece and King had eight and eight by the half. Boyd knocked down a pair of first-half threes for the Jays. They led 41-26 at halftime.

Sam Osorio, who led the Hounds with a game-high 19, brought her team back to within 10 with 6:44 to go in the third. Makenna Mummert found Allyia Kennedy just inside the three-point line out top on the next possession and the sophomore drained the jumper. She was 4-for-5 from the floor and made a career-best eight from the foul line. As a team, Elizabethtown shot 19-for-22 on the night.

Kennedy and Boyd combined for 28 points off the bench on a combined 8-for-12 shooting. Boyd canned her third trey of the game in the fourth quarter that extended Etown's led to 66-44. That came after another pair of free throws for Kennedy.

Elizabethtown was able to exploit the painted area as Renno, King and Kennedy were able to get good looks at the basket most of the night.

Ellie Fasick and Katie Haefner each added two baskets in the final minutes as the Jays doubled up Moravian in the quarter, 26-13.

The women's basketball team will travel back to Scranton on Thursday, February 22, for a 7 p.m. semifinal.
