Women’s Basketball Drops Close Contest to Mary Washington in Steel Club Classic

D’Ambrosio earns All-Tournament team honors to highlight Pride’s effort at tournament

BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Widener women's basketball team fell just short of a sweep at the Steel Club Classic tournament, as it lost a 64-61 contest to Mary Washington on Monday afternoon at Johnston Hall at Moravian University. 
 
Jordan D'Ambrosio led the way for the Pride (8-5), scoring 14 points after netting 20 in Sunday's 69-63 win over Moravian. For her efforts, the Springfield, Pa. native earned a spot on the All-Tournament team. 
 
HOW IT HAPPENED AGAINST MARY WASHINGTON 
  • The Pride almost forced the game into overtime, as they took a three-pointer with 1.2 seconds left from the right corner. Unfortunately, the shot hit the front of the rim and Mary Washington rebounded it to earn the win. 
  • The Pride jumped out to a 17-8 lead through the first quarter. Nicole Barnes paced the Pride during the quarter, scoring six of her 12 points in the frame.  
  • The Pride's lead slipped away in the second quarter, as they were outscored by the Eagles, 23-10, and trailed by four points at halftime.  
  • The Blue and Gold chipped at the Eagles' lead in the third quarter and managed to take a 53-48 lead in the fourth quarter by going on a 7-0 run to begin the period. D'Ambrosio, Jasmine Franklin, and Gianna Samuels each made a basket and Stephanie Schmitt converted a free throw during the run. However, the Eagles went on an 11-6 run to tie the game at 59.  
  • From there, Samuels made the Pride's final basket of the game on a layup in the paint to give them a 61-59 lead with 2:28 left. Then, the Eagles saw Jordan Carpenter make a driving layup that resulted in a shooting foul and went on to convert the ensuing free-throw attempt to take a 62-61 lead with 1:27 left.  
  • The Pride had an attempt to take the lead in the final seconds, but missed a jump shot and had to follow Carpenter after the Eagles got the rebound. Carpenter added two more points on a pair of free throws to set up the Pride's final shot attempt of the game. 
  • Charlotte Stern also finished in double figures for the Pride, netting 11 points.
