Westminster women edged by King's

HUNTINGDON, Pa.--The Westminster College women's basketball team was dealt a 60-58 loss by King's College Tuesday afternoon in the consolation game of the Juniata College Holiday Tournament inside Memorial Gymnasium. 

Westminster fell to 1-10 this season. King's improved to 4-7 with the win.  

Freshman guard Katie Maryo (Cleveland, Ohio, Magnificat) paced three double-figure scorers for Westminster, finishing with 15 points. She went 5-of-8 from three-point field goal range. It was the third time this season Maryo hit five three-pointers in a game. Sophomore forward Grace Cano (Greenville, Pa., Greenville) totaled 13 points and four rebounds while freshman forward Ella Kassan (Streetsboro, Ohio, Streetsboro) added 11 points and eight boards in 25 reserve minutes. Freshman guard Maddie Syka (Darlington, Pa., Lincoln Park) chipped in with eight points and four rebounds. 

Kathy Shephard finished with 13 points and nine rebounds for King's. Alli Lindsay added 13 points and four boards. 

Down 10-7 after the first, Westminster, behind its 10-0 spurt to start to the second, snagged a 17-10 lead with just over seven minutes left in the half. Maryo knocked down a three-pointer a minute and a half into the quarter before Kassan drilled her first three-pointer of the year to push the Titans' lead to five, 15-10. King's rallied with a 19-5 scoring run to close out the second and went into the break up seven, 29-22. 

Cano led the Titans with seven first half points. Kassan had five points and five boards in the first. 

King's outscored Westminster 17-13 in the third quarter to go up 11, 46-35, heading into the fourth. Cano's bucket with just under eight minutes to go capped a 5-0 run to start the fourth for Westminster while cutting the deficit to six, 46-40. Kassan's layup with under two left pulled the Titans back to within five, 57-52, before a Maryo three cut lead down to two, 57-55, with 49 seconds remaining. Trailing by four, 59-55, with 10 seconds to play, Maryo hit her fifth three-pointer of the game to trim Kings' lead to just one, 59-58, with five seconds remaining. Cadie Lewis split a pair of free throws with a second left to secure the two-point victory for King's. 

Westminster shot 36.8 percent (21-57) from the floor and finished with a 45-41 rebounding advantage.
