HOBOKEN, N.J. (November 25, 2014) – Twelve different players on the Stevens Institute of Technology women's basketball team scored Tuesday night as the Ducks cruised to an 82-58 over Centenary College in Canavan Arena.
 
The win was the third straight for the Ducks as their record moved to 3-1 while Centenary fell to 1-4.
 
Sophomore Brittany Washington led the Ducks in scoring with 13 points while sophomore Daphne Ginn added 10. Junior Dylan Krause led with 10 rebounds and sophomore Erica Guketlov dished out a season high nine assists.
 
As a team, the Ducks shot 44.6 percent from the field and outrebounded the Cyclones 43-35.
 
The Ducks opened on an 8-3 run led by four points from sophomore Hannah Brophy. The Cyclones answered with an 8-0 run to take a three point lead, but Stevens responded with a 9-0 run to take an 17-11 lead midway through the half.
 
From there, both teams tussled in a back-and-forth affair before the Ducks built their double-digit lead. A jumper from sophomore Daphne Ginn made it 21-17 before a pair of free throws from Washington with six and half remaining made it 25-21. A Centenary jumper cut the lead back to two, but three free throws combined from Ginn and Washington extended the Stevens lead to seven.
 
Centenary showed some resistance to the Ducks run, but free throws from junior Miranda Ripken combined with a layup from Washington with under a minute and a half remaining gave the Ducks the 42-32 lead they would take into halftime. The Ducks shot 42.4 percent from the field in the half and built their lead despite not connecting on any three-pointers.
 
The second half was all Stevens as a layup from Washington following by a three from Guketlov opened up a 53-35 lead five minutes in. Centenary battled back with a 5-0 run, but that's as close as they would get the rest of the night.
 
Ginn Extended the lead to 19 midway through the half with a three before connecting on another less than two minutes later to give Stevens a 66-44 lead. Petuskey and Guketlov continued the momentum with jumpers on back-to- back possessions during the five minute mark followed four minutes later by a jumper from Stoddard to give Stevens a 23 point lead.
 
Freshman Sydney Darby concluded the Ducks scoring with a layup with under 40 seconds to go before the Ducks ran out the clock to clinch the win.
 
The Ducks will return to the court on Dec. 1 when they travel to William Paterson University for a 7 p.m. tipoff.
