York College Downs Gophers in Season Opener

Towson, MD - The Goucher College Women's Basketball never found any rhythm and York College ran out to a 90-50 win.  Briana Bull led the Gophers with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Senior Jaida Scarborough (Baltimore, MD) chipped in 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 steals.

York had two players in double figures, led by Katie Wagner with 18 points and Sam Hruz with 12 points. Hruz also had 16 rebounds.

How It Happened:

·     York scored 50 points in the paint and shot 48% from the field.  Goucher only made 26 points in the paint and shot 27% from the field.

·     York outrebounded the Gophers 57-38.

·     York's bench outscored Goucher's bench 39-6.  York also had 12 players score while the Goucher only had five players to put points on the board.

·     The Gophers only had 12 turnovers and forced York into 16 turnovers, but the teams were even in points off turnovers (11-11).

Coach's Thoughts:

·      "We are an inexperienced and young team, but that is no excuse for not getting stops on the defensive end and converting open shots and lay-ups.  We need to have better focus and take advantage of opportunities on both ends."

·     "The season is very young and we just have to keep working hard.  I still believe in this team and we will take the next few days to reevaluate what we as coaches need to do to help this team get better."

Next Up:

·     The Gophers return to action next Wednesday, November 30 when they host Delaware Valley University in a non-conference game.  The game will tip at 7 PM at the Decker Sports and Recreation Center.
