Lawrenceville, N.J. - Maddie Peabody's career night led the Leopards to a 66-48 win over Rider on Tuesday night. Peabody finished with a career-high 16 points, knocking down a career-best four three-pointers.

The Leopards (3-1) led throughout the game and had four players finish in double figures for the first time this season. Linnel Macklin (13), Emily Homan (13) and Jamie O'Hare (12) all joined Peabody with more than ten points, while Macklin's six assists also tied her career-best.

Homan knocked down an early jumper, but was forced to the bench just two minutes into the game, as the team's leading scorer picked up two quick fouls. The Leopards responded as threes from Peabody and Ashley Lutz pushed the Leopards ahead, 10-4 three minutes into the first half.

At the 15 minute mark a turnaround jumper from Harriet Ottewill-Soulsby stretched the lead to 14-6. Back-to-back triples from Peabody pushed the advantage to 26-12 with nine minutes to play in the first period.

Peabody knocked down her fourth three-pointer of the contest to increase the Lafayette edge to 15, 33-18 with two and a half minutes to play. O'Hare hit from distance on the next possession and the Leopards led by as many as 18 in the first period and went into the half with 39-22 lead.

Peabody knocked down a pair from the line for her 15^th and 16^th points of the night, breaking her previous career-high, 14 points, which happened last season against the Broncs.
