Phoenix Tame Lions, 43-23

BRYN ATHYN, Pa.- The Wilson College women's basketball team was back in action tonight as they hit the road for a Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) game against the Lions of Bryn Athyn College. The Phoenix (14-8, 8-6 CSAC) took down the Lions (3-20, 3-12 CSAC) by a final score of 43-23. 

How It Happened: The Phoenix offense started to heat up early, senior Kai Wyatt (Baltimore, Md., Md Acad Tech & Hlth Sci) was able to connect on a three-pointer off an assist from senior Amber Watkins (Honesdale, Pa., Honesdale). Senior Lindsey Purvis (Fort Myers, Fla., South Fort Myers) followed up by making a layup that was assisted by Wyatt. Wilson was able to stretch their lead out to as many as four points before the Lions started to roar back and narrow the gap. The Phoenix held the advantage at the end of the first, 12-11.

The next period of action was dominated by the Blue and White, Wilson jumped out to a 7-0 run that lasted the entire second quarter. Purvis was able to capitalize on a layup with the dish coming from freshman L'Shana Cobey (Silver Spring, Md, Montgomery Blair). Purvis would go on to score five of her teams seven points in the quarter. Near the end of the first half, freshman Tioleaoauli Posiulai (Waipahu, Hawaii, University Laboratory School) was able to gather her own rebound and knockdown a jumper as time expired, giving the Phoenix a 19-11 lead at halftime. 

After exchanging points back and forth in the opening minutes of the third, Wyatt and sophomore Michaela Singer (Annville, Pa., Annville-Cleona) were able to knock down a pair of three-pointers that helped push their lead to 27-15. With less than two minutes, Singer dished the ball off to Posiulai who was able to nail the jumper that pushed Wilson further in front, 31-15.

Early in the fourth, Wyatt was able to knock down a pair of foul shots; she would shoot 5-6 from the line in this quarter alone. With about a minute and a half remaining, freshman Tori Cole (Middleburg, Fla, Orange Park) was able to feed the ball to Singer, who then hit another three. Great effort on both sides of the ball helped guide Wilson to a 43-23 victory over the Lions.
