Box Score

GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Haverford College hit 10-of-12 free throws in the final 1:13 to hold off Gettysburg College in a 74-66 decision in Centennial Conference women's hoops action inside Bream Gym on Saturday afternoon.
 
Gettysburg (7-3, 2-3 CC) saw its four-game winning streak come to a close. Senior Kim Ryan (Garden City, N.Y./Garden City) led the Bullets with a career-high 19 points, while freshman Emma Dorshimer (Jenkintown, Pa./Jenkintown) and sophomore Emily Gibbons (Annapolis, Md./Severn School) posted 16 and 12 points, respectively.
 
Haverford (7-4, 2-2 CC) led for most of the first quarter and ended the period ahead 12-11. The Bullets took their first lead following an offensive rebound and putback by Gibbons to start the second quarter. The lead would change hands five more times in the frame and stood at 24-21 in favor of Gettysburg after a lay-up by sophomore Annie Reilly (Ridgewood, N.J./Ridgewood) with 2:08 left.
 
Freshman Macy Goldbach accounted for every point in a 7-1 run to end the half as Haverford took a 28-25 lead at the break.
 
With the score tied 33-33 with 6:30 on the third-quarter clock, the Fords mounted a 17-3 run to earn their biggest lead of the game. A lay-up by Sierre Berkel made it 50-36 with 30 seconds left in the frame.
 
Ryan heated up for Gettysburg, knocking down a three-pointer and adding a running floater down the lane to end the quarter and slice the deficit to single-digits. The Bullets tacked on five more points to start the final period, including another three by Ryan, to pull to 50-46.
 
A three-pointer by Olivia Walsh quieted the crowd at 8:08. Gettysburg trailed by at least six until a three-pointer by Dorshimer cut it to 67-63 with 45 seconds left. Haverford took advantage of the charity stripe down the stretch thanks in large part to freshman Katie Cook, who knocked down 8-of-10 attempts in the final 73 seconds.
 
Haverford canned 26-of-55 (47.3 percent) attempts from the floor and out-rebounded Gettysburg 41-34. The Bullets committed a season-low five turnovers, but shot only 34.8 percent (23-of-66) from the floor and 58.3 percent (14-of-24) from the free throw line.
 
Senior Jessica Porter (Narberth, Pa./Lower Merion) scored nine points and paced Gettysburg with a dozen rebounds and four blocked shots.
 
All five starters reached double-figures for Haverford, led by Goldbach's 20 points. Berkel posted 16 points and 12 boards, while Samantha Wetzel, Cook, and Olivia Walsh each netted a dozen points.
