ELKINS, W. Va.- The women's basketball team traveled to take on Davis & Elkins in their last road game of the season, losing 80-57. 

 

In the first quarter, The Bobcats got the ball rolling with a nice jumper from senior Shelby Funchess. Senior Morgan Dombroski then made her own jumper to bring the game to 5-4 Senators. From there, D&E went on a scoring spree, going on a 22-2 run to take a commanding 27-6 lead. Junior Ciara Thomas ended the run with a layup, as baskets from junior Maggie Sharp and sophomores Samiya Esema and Rhiana Hall provided some offense as the Senators ended the quarter up 32-14.  

 

In the second quarter, Esema would get the scoring started for the Bobcats with a layup, but D&E responded by going ahead by 22 points before a strong FSU response. The comeback attempt started with Hall converting an and-one, then adding another layup for five straight points. Junior Arianna Briggs-Hall put in a pair of free throws and Funchess made a layup to get within 12 with three minutes remaining in the half. The teams traded a free throw each, as the last basket of the half came on a steal and finish from sophomore Brenae Ford to take the score to 41-31 Davis & Elkins going into halftime.  

 

In the third quarter, Dombroski got the scoring started with a layup, as both Ford and junior Briggs-Hall made jumpers to get within six. The Senator defense responded by holding Frostburg's offense scoreless for five and a half minutes, as their lead increased to 54-37 before Esema finally put a basket in. Briggs-Hall knocked in another pair of free throws and Esema made a layup, but D&E nailed a three at the end of the quarter to keep them with a strong lead at 59-43.  

 

In the fourth quarter, Ford would make a jumper to start the quarter, but that would be as close as the Bobcats got for the rest of the game, with the Senators coming out 80-57 winners.  

 

Briggs-Hall had a double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds, while Dombroski led the defensive effort with three steals and a block.
