Gators fall at home to Presidents

MEADVILLE, Pa. – The Allegheny women's basketball team fell at home to Washington and Jefferson, 66-43, in Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) action Wednesday (Feb. 1).
 
The Presidents owned a slight lead early on, but a three-pointer by Alexis Caldwell (Whitefish Bay, Wis./Whitefish Bay) followed by a fast break layup from Emily Lauer (Knox, Pa./Keystone) tied it at 12. After trading baskets, however, Washington and Jefferson scored the final four points of the frame to lead 18-14 after the first quarter.
 
The late first quarter surge carried over to the second as the Presidents opened on a 6-0 run. The Gators fought back, answering with a 9-3 run to cut the lead to 27-23. Similar to the end of the first, the Presidents ended the frame on a run, 9-2, to lead 36-25 at halftime. 
 
Caldwell led the Gators with seven points in the first half. Sarah Santicola (Moon Township, Pa./Moon Area) added six points while Lauer and Jess Bickart (Cranberry Township. Pa./Seneca Valley) had five apiece.
 
The Gators kept pace with the Presidents throughout the third quarter. A late three-pointer by Washington and Jefferson proved to be the difference between the two as they held a 13-10 edge for the 10 minutes.
