Game Summary

The Mules then notched their first set of baskets from Rachel Saxton, who banked a three-pointer, and Margaux Eripret to put five on the scoreboard at 3:18. The Orange and Blue tacked on six more points to push their lead 21-5, heading into the second quarter. The Bullets started red-hot from the field, making 66.7 percent (10-of-15) attempts.  
  • Second Quarter: The Mules had no answers for the Bullets as the score at halftime stayed in favor of Gettysburg, 34-13. Szlosek scored eight points on 4-of-5 attempts in the first half along with five rebounds and four assists.
  • Third Quarter: Gettysburg's sharp shooting continued into the third quarter as the team made a quarter best 10-of-13 (76.9 percent) from the floor. The score never dipped below 23 points, and the Orange and Blue headed into the final quarter with a 55-24 advantage.
  • Fourth Quarter: Five different players for the Bullets scored in the final stanza. A lay-up by freshman Cynthia Williams (North Brunswick, N.J./Ridge) pushed the margin to a quarter-best 35 with 25 seconds left. Gettysburg remains as the only unbeaten squad in conference play. 
By the Numbers
