BALTIMORE — Host Loyola used a 22-0 run in the final 12 minutes and change to hand the Dartmouth College women’s basketball team a 72-56 defeat at Reitz Arena on Tuesday afternoon.
NCAA steals leader Stephanie Karcz lived up to her name for the Greyhounds (3-8), recording a triple-double of 10 swipes to go with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Three other Loyola players hit for double figures.
Loyola took over after an Anna Luce layup gave the Big Green (6-7) a 47-41 lead with 3:25 left in the third quarter. The Greyhounds scored the last 12 points of the period and the first 10 of the next, resulting in a 63-47 lead from which the visitors never recovered.
“We got into foul trouble, which makes us a young team, and Loyola took advantage of that today,” Dartmouth coach Belle Koclanes said.
Annie McKenna matched her career high with 21 points for Dartmouth, with Luce adding 10 points from the bench. The Big Green is off until its Jan. 11 Ivy League opener with Harvard at Leede Arena.
WINDSOR — Connor Blanchard scored all 13 of his points in the third quarter, keying a 26-10 period that gave the Mounties a win over the Yellowjackets (2-2).
Windsor held a 33-27 lead at the half before MSJ exploded. Blanchard buried three 3-pointers as part of the visitors’ third-period surge.
Keegan Chadbourn had a team-high 17 points for MSJ. John Cook had a game-high and career-best 18 points for the Jacks, who also received 11 points apiece from Ethan Lawyer and Owen Abrahamsen. Windsor hosts Rivendell on Friday.
