COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. - Johns Hopkins junior forward Lyndsay Burton
pumped in a game-high 17 points, including 11 in the second half,
as the Blue Jays (2-1, 1-0 Centennial) rallied from a halftime
deficit to defeat Ursinus (2-1, 0-1 Centennial) 73-63 Tuesday night
in the Centennial opener for both teams.
Senior guard Anastasia Wynn added in 16 as the Blue Jays held as
much as an 18-point lead in the second half after trailing by two
at intermission.
For Ursinus, senior center Carolyn Konstanzer (Hilltown,
Pa./Pennridge), sophomore forward Lindsay Teuber
(Philadelphia, Pa./St. Basil's) and sophomore guard
Alli Rosati (Jamison, Pa./C.B. East) each had 15
points, with Rosati adding in a game-high 11 rebounds. She also had
seven assists.
Teuber finished with nine rebounds for Ursinus to go along with
three blocks.
Ursinus was hampered by cold shooting in the second half, both from
the field (11-for-30, 36.7 percent) and the foul line (11-for-19,
57.9 percent). The Bears finished 13-for-26 from the foul line on
the night.
Hopkins jumped to a 7-0 lead out of the game, on a three pointer by
sophomore guard Chantel Mattiola. Ursinus would fight back and take
its first lead at 11-10 with 11:13 left in the opening half on a
foul shot by sophomore guard Jen Sroba (Newtown,
Pa./Council Rock South).
Neither team would garner more than a four-point lead the rest of
the half, before Ursinus took a 29-27 lead at half on a layup by
sophomore guard Kristy George (Whitehall,
Pa./Whitehall).
In the second half, Hopkins took the lead for good on a
three-pointer by Wynn with 18:49 left to go up 32-31. From that
point, JHU took an eight-point lead with 15:14 left on a jumper by
junior forward Siobhan Callanan to make the score 41-33.
Trailing 43-41 with 13:24 left, Ursinus then saw the Blue Jays go
on a 20-4 scoring run over the next 4:37 to take that 18-point
lead. From that point, Ursinus would get no closer than six the
rest of the way.
Burton finished with nine rebounds for the Blue Jays, who held a
44-35 lead on the boards.
