Women’s Basketball endures setback at Rowan

GLASSBORO, N.J. – The Salisbury University women's basketball team dropped a 71-54 decision to the Rowan Profs on Saturday afternoon at Esbjornson Gymnasium.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Profs jumped out to an 8-4 lead early in the first quarter, but the Sea Gulls drew even at 8-8 after free throws by Kolby Brown and a Hailey Ader jumper at the 6:26 mark.
  • Grace Marshall answered for Rowan with a three-pointer, setting off a 14-4 run to give the Profs a 22-12 advantage. SU cut the deficit in half by scoring the final five points of the period, riding an Emma Wivell triple to close the first down 22-17.
  • Abby Wilkinson hit a jumper and then knocked down a trey to tie it 22-22 with 7:38 to go in the second quarter.
  • RU countered with two straight baskets, then after a Wivell layup the Profs hit the gas, closing the half on a 10-0 run over the final 4:37 to take a 36-24 lead into the break.
  • Danielle McCurdy's trey boosted the Rowan lead to 39-24 to open the third quarter. Ashlynn Burrows stopped the bleeding for Salisbury with a jumper, but the Sea Gulls never got closer than 12 in the period and exited the third trailing 56-40.
  • Rowan opened the fourth quarter on a 10-0 run to increase its lead to a game-high 66-40. From there the Sea Gulls chipped away and closed the game on a 14-5 push. Ader scored five points on six free throw attempts over the final four minutes, and Tori Rumbaugh converted a three-point play in the final minute to give the game its final 71-54 margin.
