McDonald added a team-best five steals and three blocks to her all-around performance while Jen Nolan dished out a team-high five assists to give her 12 helpers in the last two games.

Similar to Tuesday's win over Villa Julie, Gettysburg jumped out to an early lead and never looked back.
Kulp opened the game with her only three-pointer of the night before McDonald and Jamie Dawson scored from close range to give the Bullets a quick 7-1 lead.
Following a put-back by Shearer that made it 7-3, Gettysburg rattled off a 12-1 run fueled by four points each from Kulp and Drevna to take a commanding 19-4 lead with 13:36 remaining in the first half.
Gettysburg stretched its lead to 30-9 with an 11-5 run over the next four minutes and cruised into the intermission with a 51-22 cushion. The Bullets shot a blistering 23-for-59 (59.0 percent) from the floor before the break and finished the night with a 54.4 percent shooting performance.
Jay Hodge added nine points off the bench for Gettysburg while Sarah Payne (Dallastown, PA/Dallastown) tossed in eight points, including a pair of three-pointers. Drevna collected six rebounds to go with her 17 points.
