Six Score in Double-Digits as Bison Roll to 90-62 Win at Colgate
1/19/2019 1:55:00 PM | Women's Basketball
The Bison Have Won Four Straight to Improve to 14-4 Overall and 5-1 in the PL
HAMILTON, N.Y. – Six Bucknell players scored in double-figures, led by Ellie Mack with 19 points, as the Bison women's basketball team rolled to a 90-62 win over Colgate on Saturday at Cotterell Court. It was the fourth consecutive win for the Bison, who improved to 14-4 overall and 5-1 in the league, while Colgate dropped to 7-9 overall and 3-3 in the conference.
Joining Mack in double-digits were Abby Kapp (13), Kaitlyn Slagus (12), Ally Johnson (12), Autumn Ceppi (12), and Taylor O'Brien (10). The 12 points were a career-high for Ceppi. Johnson was perfect from beyond the arc while hitting four of the team's 11 3-pointers.
The Bison finished with 21 assists on 30 field goals, led by five apiece from Kyi English and Kate Walker.
"This was a fun group to watch today," Bucknell head coach Aaron Roussell said. "We weren't perfect and we were exposed on some things, but we played very well together and moved the ball well."
Bucknell took control early with an 8-0 run to start the game and never trailed for the second straight contest. Similar to last game when the Bison held Lehigh to 0-of-15 shooting to start the game, they held Colgate without a field goal on its first nine shot attempts.
Kapp had a big first half to help Bucknell take a 41-28 lead into the break, totaling 13 points while connecting on three 3-pointers. Johnson hit three treys and had nine points at the half.
The offense continued to roll in the third quarter as Bucknell outscored Colgate 29-23, posting its 10th quarter of at least 25 points this season. The Bison would go on to score 49 points in the half, their second most points in a half this season. The team's ninety points were also the second most points in a game by the Bison this season, just one shy of the 91 they scored in a win at Brown.
"We had some stretches of great defense and it was during those periods that we were able to make some runs and expand our lead," Roussell said.
Bucknell held Colgate to 37 percent shooting and forced 16 turnovers, including three steals by Slagus. The senior had a great all-around game, adding nine rebounds, four assists, and two blocks.
Mack also had a solid all-around game, scoring her 19 points on 8-of-13 shooting while adding nine rebounds.
The Bison shot 48 percent (30-63) from the field and 44 percent (11-25) from beyond the arc. Numerous players made the most of their time on the court as Ceppi scored her 12 points in 15 minutes, Johnson scored her 12 in 16 minutes, and O'Brien totaled 10 in 10 minutes.
Bucknell, which sits in a tie with American for first place in the conference through six of 18 games, will play at Loyola (Md.) on Wednesday at 6 p.m.
