Medaille College News

The Lady Mavs women’s basketball team survived a slow start and used stifling defense to overwhelm AMCC foe Penn State-Behrend (52-26) in the Sullivan Center on January 16. The Lady Mavs used the defensive pressure that has moved them to the #18 ranking in the ESPN/USA Today Top 25 Poll. It was a total team effort as twelve players found the score sheet and none scored more than ten points. The Lady Mavs held Behrend to 11 points in the first half and forced them to shoot 16.4% from the field.

In the win Medaille was led by Amanda Walling ‘08 (South New Berlin, NY/Unadilla Valley) who registered a team high 10 points to go along with 7 boards. Sara Bukas ‘08 (Hamburg, NY/Holy Angels) scored 8 points, pulled down 6 rebounds and blocked 3 shots. The win brings the Lady Mavs to 12-1 overall and 6-0 in AMCC play. They will head to Penn State-Altoona for another conference game on Saturday (1/19) for a 1:00 p.m. game.
