ROANOKE, Va. – McDaniel finished the first half on a 13-4 run to open up a 12-point lead en route to a 71-50 win over Hollins in non-conference women's basketball action on Saturday.

Lindsey Nichols (Wilmington, Del./St. Mark's) led the Green Terror (9-0) with her fourth 20-point game of the season, netting 23 points in the team's first game after three weeks off.

Jewellanna Parfitt led three players in double figures for Hollins (2-8), tallying 14 points.

After a Taylor Catron 3-pointer closed the margin to 25-22 with 5:25 to play in the first half, Nichols responded with one of her three 3-pointers to spart the 13-4 close to the first half.

Four straight points from Karli Zeps (Reisterstown, Md./Seton Keough) gave McDaniel its first double-digit lead with 3:20 showing before Parfitt responded with a jumper to return the margin to eight.

The Green Terror got baskets from three different players in the final 2:15 of the half to open the 38-26 halftime lead.

A Parfitt triple and jumper closed the deficit to 38-31 just 1:25 into the second half before an Alyssa March (Fallston, Md./Fallston) putback and five points from Nichols stretched the lead to 14 with 17:03 on the clock.

Eight straight points later in the half stretched the advantage to 64-41 with 5:12 on the clock en route to McDaniel's fifth win this season by 20 or more points.

Baskets from Britney Campbell and Amber Markovitz staked the hosts to an early 4-0 lead before Nichols hit a trey to close the deficit to one.

Baskets from Zeps and Nichols pushed the lead to five.

Parfitt canned a triple with 10:40 showing to give Hollins a 15-13 lead but Perez responded on the other end with a 3-pointer or her own.
