BRYN MAWR, Pa. – McDaniel scored the game's first 23 points en route to a 56-34 Centennial Conference (CC) women's basketball victory over Bryn Mawr on Saturday.

Steph Perez (Harrisburg, Pa./Central Dauphin East) made it 19-for-19 in double figures with 10 points to pace the Green Terror (8-11, 5-10 CC), who halted its eight-game losing streak with the win.

Jackie Handy led the Owls (0-15, 0-12 CC) with 10 points and 11 rebounds while Nicolette Parmese adding nine points and 15 rebounds.

Emma Wingerd (Pittsburgh, Pa./North Hills) hit jumpers around a pair of Perez baskets to stake McDaniel to an 8-0 lead in the game's first 5:15 before a Rachael Rybak (Reisterstown, Md./Franklin) jumper extended the lead to 10 just over a minute later.

Four straight points from Perez and a Lauren Ballenger (Silver Spring, Md./Our Lady of Good Counsel) three-point play pushed the lead to 16-0 at the 12:18 mark before a Winger fast-break jumper stretched the lead to 19-0 just five seconds later.

Baskets from Katherine Restrepo (Wyomissing, Pa./Wyomissing Area) and Nikki Ostrow (Silver Spring, Md./Blake) capped the opening run, which more than accounted for the difference in the final score, with 10:51 to play in the opening half.

A Danielle Preziuso 3-pointer broke up the shutout 42 seconds later before Stephanie Fish (Brick, N.J./Brick Memorial) responded with a layup before Parmese and Aislinn Toohey scored back-to-back buckets to cut the deficit to fewer than 20 but the Green Terror responded with nine of the game's next 10 points to stretch the lead to 34-7 with 4:43 remaining.

A Parmese layup capped a 7-2 burst to make a 36-14 game before Karen Wearden (Denton, Md./St. Thomas More [Del.]) pushed the lead back to 24 at the break.

Two Handy free throws capped a 13-8 stretch to open the second half and once again make it a 19-point deficit with 13:04 to play but Nikki Piper (Clarksville, Md./River Hill) bookended a 10-1 counter that stretched the lead to its largest of the game with 6:32 to play.

Wingerd finished with six points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocked shots while Restrepo added six points. Rybak finished with seven points, three assists and three steals.
