Box Score

 Walters, the conference’s second-leading rebounder (10.7 rpg), hauled in 15 boards and added 10 points, including a free throw to start a 15-4 run that broke open a tie game early in the second half. Kristen Lee led four Garnet players in double figures with 13 points as Swarthmore (7-6, 4-4 CC) won for the fifth time in its last seven meetings with the Bullets (8-6, 5-3 CC).

 Elizabeth Ross (Chestertown, MD/St. Andrew’s [DE]) posted her eighth double-double of the season with team highs of 14 points and 11 rebounds for Gettysburg, which shot only 20-for-60 (33.3 percent) from the field. Kathryn Reilly (Ridgewood, NJ/Ridgewood) also reached double figures for the sixth time in her last seven games with 12 points.

 Following a tight first half, the Garnet took control with a decisive stretch through the middle of the second period.

 A Ross field goal gave the Bullets their final lead at 33-31 with 18:39 remaining before Lee and Alison Wolff nailed back-to-back buckets for the Garnet. Katie Eiden (Silver Spring, MD/Georgetown Visitation) scored to tie the game at 35, but Walters hit 1 of 2 free throws to put the hosts ahead to stay and touch off a 15-4 run.

 Wolff, who finished with 11 points, converted a 3-point play to push the lead to 39-35. Gettysburg’s Megan Hartman (Lewistown, PA/Indian Valley) hit two free throws to cut the deficit in half, but the Bullets would get no closer.

 Three straight field goals by Karen Berk increased the Swarthmore advantage to eight and a 3-pointer from Jennifer Stevenson made it 48-39. Lee capped the run with another bucket to give the Garnet their first double-digit lead of the game with 9:39 remaining.

 From there, Swarthmore displayed the defense that leads the CC in points allowed per game (49.1) and opponents’ field goal percentage (.329), leading by no fewer than eight points the rest of the way.

 The day started promisingly for Gettysburg, which built an early 15-10 lead on six points from Reilly. Three-pointers by Jessica Fuhr and Stevenson erased that advantage, but the Bullets remained on top at 29-28 thanks to a Ross field goal with 1:15 left.

Lee, however, knocked down another trey to make it 31-29 in favor of Swarthmore at the half.

Debra Farrelly also keyed the Garnet victory with nine points to go along with a team-high four assists and three steals.

Eiden finished with eight points while Hartman added seven. In her first game since reaching the 1,000-point mark, CC leading scorer Jen Bengel (Timonium, MD/Roland Park Country School) was held to four points, but did collect nine rebounds and hand out a team-high four assists.
