WESTMINSTER, Md. - Ursinus sophomore forward Lindsay
Teuber (Philadelphia, Pa./St. Basil's) had a game-high 13
points and 11 rebounds, but, it was not enough as the Bears (6-7,
4-5 Centennial) fell to McDaniel (9-4, 8-2 Centennial) 50-48
Wednesday night in women's basketball play at the Gill Center.
The Bears saw the Green Terror outscore them 31-12 over the final
16:40 of the contest. At that point, Ursinus had led 36-19. The
scoring run by McDaniel actually reached 20-2 at one point.
McDaniel got two foul shots from senior Ali Moreland with six
seconds left to take the win. Ursinus could not get a shot off in
their final possession.
Junior guard Jaclyn Hilf (Maple Glen, Pa./Upper
Dublin) added in 11 points for the Bears, who due to
travel issues, arrived at the venue at 6:20 p.m. and took straight
to the floor for warm ups.
The late start did not affect the Bears, as they opened the game
with a 7-2 lead with 15:41 left in the first half on a layup from
sophomore guard Alli Rosati (Jamison, Pa./Central Bucks
East). The Green Terror would come back and take an 8-7
lead with 13:19 left on a jumper by freshman guard Sam Whitman.
Ursinus then jumped back in front 14-8 on a jumper by Hilf with
10:41 left. The Bears maintained the lead and built it as high as
nine three times, including a 26-17 lead with 28 seconds left to go
on a pair of foul shots by freshman forward Amber Yacenda
(Downingtown, Pa./Downingtown East).
Leading 25-19 at half, Ursinus opened the second stanza on an 11-0
run to go up 36-19 on a jumper by senior guard Laura
Krieger (Poughkeepsie, N.Y./Our Lady of Lourdes). McDaniel
then started its slow climb to the lead and ended up with a 46-45
lead with 2:43 left on a jumper by junior guard Cara Thompson. A
layup by senior guard Sally Grace with 1:46 left gave the Green
Terror its biggest lead of the half at 48-45.
Ursinus got back within one at 48-47 on a layup by Teuber with 1:18
left, then tied it on a foul shot by Teuber with 34 seconds
left.
For McDaniel, senior center Ashley Lyles and Grace each had nine
points, while Moreland added in eight.
The Bears had a slight 36-34 edge on the glass.
Ursinus will host Swarthmore on Saturday afternoon to close the
season series with the Garnet.
