Garden City, N.Y. - Six different players scored in double figures for the No. 10 Adelphi University women's basketball team on Saturday in a 115-59 rout of The College of Saint Rose in Northeast-10 Conference action at the Center for Recreation and Sport in Garden City.
The Panthers (23-2, 14-2 NE10) shot a season-high 58.9 percent (43-of-73) from the field in the effort, including a 48.4 percent mark (15-of-31) from deep.Â
Leonie Edringer led all players with 22 points on 11-of-17 shooting.
Fallyn Stephens tallied her second-straight 20-point game with 21 points.
Emily Miccile and
Julia Strachan scored 15 points apiece. Miccile also pulled down 10 rebounds for a double-double.
Katie Murphy had 14 points, nine assists and two steals.
Jess Camarda contributed 13 points, six assists, three rebounds and two steals.
Adelphi overcame a slow start, en route to its dominant victory. Trailing 13-8 late in the first quarter, the Panthers outscored the Golden Knights 37-8 over a nine-minute stretch to open a 45-21 lead with 4:22 left before halftime.
Julia Strachan sparked the outburst with a three and nailed a trio of trifectas in the run. Stephens also knocked down back-to-back three-pointers.
Saint Rose (7-17, 2-15 NE10) was unable to contain a streaking Adelphi offense, which made at least half of its total shots in each quarter during the contest. The Panthers also limited the Golden Knights to just 36.7 percent shooting (22-of-60), which included a 1-for-16 performance from downtown.
In the third quarter, the Brown and Gold widened the gap to a 30-point difference, before coming away with an eventual 56-point win. It was Adelphi's second-largest margin of victory this season.
