Garden City, N.Y. - The No. 20 Adelphi University women's basketball team got back on track in convincing fashion Wednesday night, defeating Assumption College, 80-57, in Northeast-10 Conference action at the Center for Recreation and Sport.

Assumption (9-9, 3-7 NE10) led 5-2 from the onset of the game, but those were the only points the Greyhounds would get for the rest of the quarter.

Adelphi (17-2, 8-2 NE10) proceeded to go on a 25-0 run, which gave the hosts a commanding 27-5 lead, and kept the visitors off the scoreboard for the final 8:46 of the period.

A Fallyn Stephens three from the corner ignited the outburst. Jess Camarda followed with a three-pointer of her own to put the Panthers in front. As a team, Adelphi shot a scintillating 52.6 percent (10-of-14) from the field in the first quarter.

Behind a 50.0 percent shooting clip in the second quarter, the Greyhounds started to rally and cut the deficit in half (32-21) with 6:07 left.

However, the Brown and Gold answered with a key 12-2 response that put the game away before the break. Camarda sparked the run with a transition bucket and capped it with another of her five three-pointers on the night.

The Adelphi defense swarmed the Assumption shooters for much of the evening, as the Panthers held the Greyhounds to just 36.9 percent (24-of-65) shooting from the floor and forced 27 turnovers.

Camarda led all scorers in the contest with 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting, including a 5-of-8 mark from deep. She also stuffed the stat sheet with eight rebounds and six steals. Leonie Edringer returned to her double-double form with 15 points and 14 rebounds. Stephens and Emily Miccile added 11 points apiece. Katie Murphy chipped in eight points, five assists and two rebounds.

Head Coach Missy Traversi and her Adelphi squad are back at it Saturday (Jan. 25) at NE10 foe Franklin Pierce University in Rindge, N.H. Tip-off is slated for noon.
