Box Score
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University women's basketball team scored 17-straight points around the halftime break, seizing control of Tuesday morning's (Dec. 16) game and going on to a 74-46 win over Le Moyne College. The "School Day" game took place at the Stroh Center.
Paige Kohler had a game-high 17 points for the Falcons (7-4), who have won six consecutive games. Kaia Woods and Jasmine Fearne each scored 11 points as a total of eight BGSU players scored at least five points apiece.
Woods had five rebounds to lead the Falcons, and had game-high totals of seven assists and three steals, and she also blocked a Le Moyne shot.
Kohler, Fearne and Emily Siesel each knocked down three three-point field-goal attempts, with Siesel going 3-for-5 from long range and tying her career best with nine points.
The Dolphins (1-9), coached by former BGSU assistant Nick DiPillo, got 13 points and a game-high eight rebounds from Ashley Buragas.
Le Moyne only led for a total of 15 seconds on Tuesday, but the game was close for the first quarter and a half. The Dolphins whittled a nine-point deficit down to two midway through the second quarter on a Buragas three-point play, and it was still a four-point game after a Buragas putback with just over four minute left in the half.
But, Woods grabbed a defensive rebound and fired a pass to Joniyah Bland-Fitzpatrick for a fast-break, and-one layup. That bucket began a 12-0 run for the Falcons to end the half, as Woods followed with a three-point play of her own, Lauren Gerken hit a layup and Laila Harrison scored four-straight points.
Woods opened the second-half scoring with a layup, then found Kohler for a three-pointer that gave the hosts a 17-0 run and a 44-23 lead. BG's lead never fell below 20 points the rest of the way.
