Box Score

Walker, who had converted only 2 of 11 shots before hitting the game-winner, drove around the top of the key and down the left side of the lane before banking home a runner to give the Bears (2-1, 1-0 CC) their second straight victory over the Bullets (1-3, 0-1 CC).

Julia Tramontana paced Ursinus with 12 points and added seven rebounds while Molly Guntli tallied nine points and 11 boards for the second consecutive game.

Jen Bengel (Timonium, MD/Roland Park Country School) led Gettysburg with her fourth double-double of the season, scoring a game-high 21 points and pulling down 12 rebounds in the loss.

Bullet senior Dana Bear (Lansdale, PA/Lansdale) chipped in with 15 points, leaving her eight points shy of 1,000 for her collegiate career. She would be the seventh player in program history to reach the 1,000-point mark.

After erasing an eight-point, second-half deficit and building a seven-point lead, the Bears watched Gettysburg rally to pull even before Walker struck the ultimate blow in the final seconds.

Ursinus trailed 44-36 when Tramontana knocked down a jumper to start a 21-6 run over a span of 7 minutes, 2 seconds that gave the visitors a 57-50 lead with 5:25 left. Tramontana scored seven of her 12 points during the stretch before heading to the bench with her fourth foul at the 4:23 mark.

Down seven, the Bullets pulled within two points on three separate occasions before Bengel's layup with 49 seconds remaining knotted the game at 61.

Guntli missed a layup on the Bears' next possession, but Tramontana hauled in the rebound to give Ursinus a new shot clock with 35 seconds left. Following a timeout, the Bears ran nearly 20 seconds off the clock before Walker drove the lane and scored the winning points with 7.1 seconds remaining.

Gettysburg was able to set up its offense in the final seconds, but failed to get a shot away before a turnover with 1.4 ticks left sealed the Ursinus victory.

The Bears stormed out of the gate in the conference opener for both teams, leading for all but the final 3:27 of the first half.

Down 25-23, the Bullets went ahead for the first time on a 3-pointer from Katie Eiden (Silver Spring, MD/Georgetown Visitation), touching off a quick 8-1 burst that made it 31-26 with 2:14 to play in the half.

Ursinus, however, finished with the final five points of the half, including two Walker free throws with five seconds left that made it 31-30 at the break.
