Box Score
BRYN MAWR, Pa. – Hillary Prutzman (Bethlehem,
PA/Liberty) posted her first collegiate double-double
with a career-high 12 points and 14 rebounds, and Gettysburg
held Bryn Mawr to the lowest point total by a Bullet opponent
since 1981 in an 80-19 Centennial Conference (CC) women’s
basketball victory on Saturday.
Prutzman tallied four points and five
rebounds in the decisive first half, then went for eight points
and nine boards in 15 minutes of second-half action while
helping Gettysburg (7-10, 4-6 CC) hold the Owls (1-13, 0-10
CC) to six points and 2-of-29 shooting after the break. Elizabeth
Ross (Chestertown, MD/St. Andrew’s [DE]) also scored
12 points while Jen Bengel (Timonium, MD/Roland Park

was the lowest by a Bullet opponent since a 79-14 Gettysburg

The Bullets scored 14 unanswered points
in the opening five-and-a-half minutes on Saturday and steadily
built their lead across the rest of the game.

B.V.M.) and Katie Eiden (Silver Spring, MD/Georgetown
Visitation) knocked down jumpers to open the scoring

Johnson put the Owls on the board with a 3-point play at the
14:11 mark of the first half.
Baskets from Eiden, Marshall, Prutzman
and Bengel, and a four-minute Bryn Mawr scoring drought pushed

Kathryn Reilly (Ridgewood, NJ/Ridgewood) made
it a 30-point game for the first time at 35-5 and Gettysburg
