GETTSYBURG, Pa. – Despite a monster performance from Lydia Konstanzer, the Ursinus College women's basketball team saw its season come to an end with a 57-42 defeat at the hands of Gettysburg.

Konstanzer finished with 23 points, 12 rebounds, and six steals for Ursinus (13-12, 11-9), which needed a victory to clinch a spot in the Centennial Conference playoffs. Johns Hopkins claimed the final postseason berth with a win at Bryn Mawr combined with the Bears' setback.

Emily Gibbons, the conference's leading scorer, posted 24 points and 14 rebounds on 10-of-13 shooting to lead Gettysburg (18-7, 14-6), which completed the season sweep behind a hot start that resulted in the game's first nine points and a double-digit lead in the first quarter.

The Bears did not dent the scoreboard for the first 5:08, by which time Gibbons had already scored five points. Despite trailing 17-6 after one period, Ursinus returned the favor and netted the first nine points of the second stanza – two-thirds of them on 3-pointers by sophomore Kaci McNeave and junior Rachel Guy – to get within a deuce just over two minutes into the quarter. However, Gettysburg used a 6-0 spurt on the way to re-building a double-digit margin and went into the break with a 30-19 lead.

Ursinus had no plans to go quietly, closing to 36-31 on a triple by sophomore Brielle Clarke late in the third. Gibbons responded with a triple of her own, and the Bears could get no closer than eight the rest of the way.

Ashley Gehrin finished with 11 points and five rebounds and Kendra Meredith contributed ten points and six assists for the Bullets, who committed 21 turnovers but made up for it with 47.1-percent shooting (24 for 51) and massive advantages on the glass (46-30) and in the paint (38-16).

Guy had seven points and senior Libby Lannon added five points and three rebounds in the final game of her career. Ursinus shot just 22.2 percent from the field (14 for 63) and went 4 for 18 from 3-point range.
