Easton, Pa. – Linnel Macklin led four Leopards in double figures with 16 points, as the Lafayette women’s basketball team knocked off defending Patriot League champion and preseason favorite Army on Wednesday afternoon. Lafayette converted 26-of-29 from the free throw line in the 71-60 win.
Macklin’s 16 points came on 10-of-10 from the charity stripe. Lafayette’s (8-1, 1-0 PL) received double figures scoring from Emily Homan (15), Jamie O'Hare (15) and Maddie Peabody (10). For Army (8-3, 0-1) Kelsey Minato scored a game-high 37 points, while Aimee Oertner chipped in 13 for the Black Knights.
Macklin knocked down a pair of threes in the opening minutes to help the Leopards to an early 11-6 advantage. Annette Snow completed a three-point play, pushing the Lafayette lead to seven with seven and a half minutes to play in the first half.
With Homan on the bench in foul trouble, Army used a 13-2 run to take its first lead of the afternoon, 24-18. Brya Freeland’s three closed the gap to one, but the Black Knights took a 28-25 lead into the half.
Army came out of the half on a 6-2 spurt to increase its lead to seven. O’Hare cut the deficit to three, going coast-to-coast for two, with 16 minutes to play. O’Hare buried a three on the next possession to knot the game at 34. A deep three and another bucket from Minato pushed the Black Knights back up five.
The Leopards used a 6-0 run, with four points from Peabody, to take a 42-41 lead with 11 minutes to play. Another 8-0 spurt from Lafayette increased the advantage to six, 50-44. The Leopards maintained their six-point spread, scoring six straight points from the charity stripe.
A three-pointer from O’Hare stretched the lead to seven with 6:26 to play. Peabody’s full-court pass to a breaking O’Hare pushed Lafayette’s lead to nine, the largest of the afternoon. Minato kept the Black Knights in the game knocking down a triple to trim the deficit to six.
O’Hare’s third triple of the night made it an 11-point game, 66-55 with two and a half minutes to play. A driving O’Hare flipped the ball to Homan, who converted the lay-in and completed the three-point play to seal the victory.
The Leopards travel to Annapolis, Md. on Saturday for the team’s first road test of the Patriot League schedule.
