CARLISLE, Pa. - The Dickinson women's basketball team got contributions up and down the lineup on Tuesday night en route to picking up a 63-44 Centennial Conference win over the visiting Bryn Mawr College at the Kline Center.
The Devils were the first team to ten on the evening as
Caitlin Blackman,
Mia Chapman,
Lindsey Hollenshead and
Victoria Zerbe made it 10-2 with 3:24 gone. After a jumper for Michell Jiang,
Abby John Jenna Weinstein and Chapman hit in the lane, while Hollenshead buried a shot from distance to grow the margin to 21-4. Jessica Smith would add two at the foul line to cap the scoring for the period at 21-6.
