Lady Hawks Get First Win

Wenham, Mass. -- Becker defeated Gordon 59-41 at the Gordon College Tipoff Tournament.  Guard Sara Schwanke poured in 10 points for the Scots in the defeat and was named to the All-Tournament Team.

The event concluded with a 3pm game won 63-61 by Houghton College over Lyndon State.

In the opener, Becker shot out to an early lead as the Gordon offense struggled to find the range, trailing 27-13 at halftime.  Strong work by Erin Thames helped keep the Scots competitive as she finished with 11 points and 13 rebounds.  However, 6-foot center Beth Pion was too much for Gordon to handle as scored 27 points and had 12 rebounds over 36 minutes of play.  Pion had an 11-12 performance at the foul line, en route to joining Schwanke on the All-Tournament Team.

Forward Rebecca Carroll was the other Scots player to reach double digits as she also scored 11.

Gordon (0-4) will be back in action on Tuesday at 5pm in their final game before Thanksgiving break.  The Scots will face St. Joseph's.
