DeSales Women’s Basketball Crushes CCNY with 92-22 Victory

The DeSales University women’s basketball team put on a show in their recent non-conference game against the City College of New York (CCNY), grabbing a wild 92-22 victory. This kind of win really says a lot about the squad’s talent and might just set the stage for some exciting games ahead.

Five Bulldogs scored in double digits, and their defense held CCNY to just 10.3 percent shooting from the field. The team looked sharp at both ends of the court.

DeSales Bulldogs’ Commanding Performance

The game felt lopsided from the opening tip, with DeSales jumping out to a huge lead right away. By the end of the first quarter, the Bulldogs led 27-3.

By halftime, it was already 51-9. That early surge made it clear the Bulldogs came ready to play, both offensively and defensively.

Offensive Firepower

DeSales had five players hit double figures, which really shows off their depth. Senior Lindsay Bednarek led with 14 points and six rebounds.

Senior Mikaili Donmoyer added 13 points. Sophomore Aubrey Pollard put up a double-double with 12 points and 10 boards.

First-year Keara McCaffrey chipped in 11 points. Sophomore Emma O’Hare came off the bench to score 10.

Defensive Dominance
