LYNCHBURG, VA – The Randolph College women's basketball team shot only seven percent in the second half and went over 23 minutes of game time without a field goal as Randolph-Macon College earned an 83-39 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) victory over the WildCats Tuesday from the Randolph Athletics and Dance (RAD) Center.

Randolph (3-10/0-8 ODAC) never led in the game, but kept things close as they hit four its first five shots from the field. The WildCats trailed by just six with eight minutes to play at 21-15 following a layup by first-year Bri Lowry (Herndon, VA/Herndon). Senior Lauren French (Blairs, VA/Chatham) hit a three to keep the game at a six-point edge for R-MC, but the Yellow Jackets would then put the pedal to the medal.

The Yellow Jackets used an 18-5 run over the last six minutes of the first half to lead 43-24. The French three-pointer proved to be the last field goal Randolph would hit until the 3:30 mark of the second half. R-MC outscored Randolph 40-15 in the second half, as the WildCats two field goals in the second stanza were both trifectas.

First-year forward Jensen Hoover (Woodstock, VA/Central) had a team eight points, while Dyllan Peterson (Baltimore, MD/Bryn Mawr) added seven points and two blocks. Lowry finished with seven points and five rebounds, but only managed to hit on two-of-11 shots from the field. First-year guard Chelsea Tyler (Richmond, VA/Henrico) added five points and a team-high seven rebounds.

Randolph-Macon had three players in double figures, led by the 15 points and seven caroms from senior center Taylor Wieczoruk. Sarah Parsons added 14 points off the bench, and Maggie Roy scored 13 points to go with six assists, five rebounds and four steals. R-MC shot 49.3 percent (34-69) from the field, and won the rebounding battle 48-34.

The WildCats will end their seven-game home stand on Friday as the Marlins of Virginia Wesleyan College come to town for a 7 p.m. tip-off in the RAD Center.
