GWYNEDD VALLEY, Pa. – Mary Kate Daley scored a career-high 27 points, including 17 in the first half to lead Ursinus past Misericordia in the first game of the Gwynedd-Mercy Classic on Wednesday night. Carolyn Konstanzer also had a career night, adding 16 points on 7-for-9 shooting from the floor to help the Bears (6-3) get the victory in their first contest in 2007. Sarah Hennessey was the third player in double figures, adding 11 points and five assists along with four steals. Amy Hughes paced the Cougars (4-5) with a team-high 16 points, six rebounds and five assists. Ericka Morrison and Lacey DeGraw chipped in 13 and 12 points, respectively. Ursinus recorded 28 of its 37 first-half points in the paint to jump out to an 11-point lead at intermission that would stand until the end. After a scoreless two minutes, 21 seconds to start the game, Alyson Kristofik helped Misericordia get on the board first with a three-pointer. Two free throws from Hughes made it 7-4, but Daley and Molly Guntli exchanged layups to help the Bears take the lead for good at the 13:33 mark. Daley scored the next three baskets for Ursinus, but the Cougars kept it a one-point game until Hennessey hit a jumper with 8:13 left to play to start a 13-6 spurt to give the Bears a double-digit lead at 29-19. Less than two minutes to play in the first half, Hennessey buried two layups off steals by Daley and Julie Bown to extend the lead to 37-22. Constanzer opened the second half scoring for the Bears with three consecutive layups to make it 43-29. Misericordia started to chip away its deficit, using a 12-3 run to get within 46-41 with 12:27 remaining thanks to five points from DeGraw and Morrison apiece. Forced to take a timeout, Ursinus managed to regain its double-digit lead after Kate McMahon completed a three-point play at 56-46. Down the stretch, the Bears made 7-of-10 from the charity stripe including two from Bown and three from Stephanie Cavalier for the final 72-60 margin. Guntli finished with a team-high 10 rebounds, while adding eight points. |
