DANVILLE, Ky. (Feb. 4, 2012) – The Centre women's basketball team showed why it is nationally ranked, as the No. 23/19 Colonels downed Sewanee, 81-49, Saturday inside Alumni Gymnasium.
With the loss, the Tigers are now 9-11 overall and 3-9 in SCAC play. Centre earned its 16th straight victory to improve to 19-1 overall with a perfect 12-0 mark in league action.
Centre led from start to finish after Alyson Burke hit a three-pointer to start the game. From there, the Colonels built their lead throughout the contest. Sewanee made a late run right before the half, when the Tigers cut the deficit to 11.
However, the Sewanee momentum slowly faded as Centre used a strong second half to pull away.
Sewanee finished 28-of-53 (33.3 percentage) from the floor. Outside the three-point line, the Tigers, who lead the SCAC in threes made per contest, hit only four out of their 25 attempts.
