#21/20 Women's basketball sets program records in win at Goucher

TOWSON, Md. -- Graduate student Cyleigh Wilson tied a season-high with 25 points to lead the way as the Elizabethtown College women's basketball posted their most points in a game since 1984 in a 121-85 win at Goucher. The Blue Jays set new program records with 45 made field goals and 66 rebounds. Etown's point total was one of tying the program record of 122 set back in 1984.

Wednesday night's game went very similarly to the January matchup in Thompson Gymnasium when Elizabethtown was able to get out to a fast start. At Goucher, the Blue Jays totaled 29 points in the first quarter to the Gophers' 15. Etown followed that up with 33 points in the second quarter. The Jays shot 24-for-34 in the first half to take a 26-point lead into halftime.

Seven Jays registered points in the first, led by six from Wilson and Allyia Kennedy off the bench. Wilson knocked down each of her two three-point attempts and Elizabethtown was also 7-for-7 at the foul line. They finished the game 25-for-29 as a team, the most made free throws in a game since 2011.

Summer McNulty had seven second-quarter points, a team-high in the quarter for the Blue Jays as they rang up 33 points on 78 percent shooting from the field. Wilson and Makenna Mummert each had six in the quarter. Three players were in double figures for Etown by the break with Wilson pacing at 12 points. Mummert and Kennedy each had 11.

Etown reached the 30-point mark for the second consecutive quarter. Though their hot shooting from the field slowed down, they hit 10-of-11 free throws. Jess King, Wilson, McNulty, Lindsay Boyd, Kennedy, and Grace O'Connor all knocked down freebies. Wilson drilled two more threes in the quarter and King grabbed six boards, part of the new team record for rebounds in a game. The Blue Jays had previously set the record in their earlier game with Goucher with 60 rebounds.

With the game out of reach, Elizabethtown was able to get 17 players on the court over the 10-minute quarter. Mummert and Ava Chapman both scored six, with Wilson, Boyd, Kennedy, Kamryn Mengel, Ellie Fasick, Kiley Wilhelm, and Ashley Adamson also scoring in the period for the Jays.

Elizabethtown shot 57 percent overall for the game, the second time they've hit at least 57 percent. The Jays shot 57.1 percent in the prior matchup with the Gophers.

The Blue Jays will play at Wilkes on Saturday, February 15, at 2 p.m.
