(WESTMINSTER, Md.) – It was a tough afternoon for Wilson as it ran into 2026 NCAA Tournament qualifier Union in the consolation game of the Rebecca Martin Memorial Tip-Off on Saturday.
Mackenzie Caldwell-Degnon (Sr., Rockville, Md. / Richard Montgomery) had an excellent game though as she had co-game high honors with 13 points.
Leah Laubach (Jr., Marietta, Pa. / Lancaster Catholic) went in double-figures again with 10 points and was named to the all-tournament team as a result.
The Basics
Score: Wilson 37, Union 73
Venue: Gill Center
Records: Wilson 0-2, 0-0 UE; Union 1-1, 0-0 Liberty
How It Happened
- It was all Garnet Chargers at the start as they controlled the first quarter and opened up the game on an 18-2 run. The Blue and White did see a burst of momentum near the end of the frame as Caldwell-Degnon scored an inside jumper before Shaylee McGlinchey (FY, New Market, Md. / Oakdale) followed up with a steal and layup, but it was answered by a 3-pointer from Union to close the quarter.
- Wilson shot excellent from the field in the second quarter, but the Chargers' suffocating defense made it difficult for the Phoenix to find a rhythm which resulted in Union extending its lead. The Phoenix hung with the Chargers in the second half, but were unable to make a dent in the deficit.
Inside The Numbers
- Caldwell-Degnon scored her baker's dozen after going 4-for-10 from the field with a 3-pointer.
- Laubach was close to a double-double once again with a 5-for-12 effort from the field with eight rebounds.
Up Next
The Phoenix will head to another tournament next weekend co-hosted by Alfred State College and Alfred University in Alfred, New York. Wilson will open with Alfred State on Friday before taking on either Alfred University or Geneva on Saturday.
