Brooklyn Heights, N.Y. - Lafayette used a 15-4 spurt to end the first half sending the Leopards into the intermission with a 20-point lead, as the team went on to down St. Francis Brooklyn, 73-51 on Friday night. Jamie O'Hare finished with a game-high 18 points for Lafayette.
Ashley Lutz collected her second consecutive double-double for the Leopards (5-2) with a career-best 12 points and 11 rebounds in the win. Emily Homan continued her double figures scoring streak to start the season with 16 points. St. Francis Brooklyn (3-5) was led by Sarah Benedetti with 16 points.
Maddie Peabody dished out a career-high eight assists and only turned the ball over once, as the Leopards controlled throughout the night, trailing only twice early on. Lafayette shot a season-high 46.2 percent from the field on a season best 30 made field goals.
Homan and Lutz combined for ten early points to push the Leopards ahead, 14-9 midway through the first half. The Leopards used a five-point spurt on another Homan bucket and an O'Hare three to increase their lead to 19-9 with 8:45 to play in the first half.
Back-to-back buckets from Harriet Ottewill-Soulsby and Lutz bumped the Leopard advantage to 13, 26-13. A three-pointer from Anna Ptasinski in the final minute helped Lafayette close the half on an 11-4 run to take a 37-17 lead into the half.
St. Francis opened the second half on a 13-4 spurt to cut the deficit to 11, 41-30, with 17 minutes to play to force a Lafayette timeout. Out of the Lafayette timeout, O'Hare knocked down her third and fourth three-pointers of the night to extend the gap to 17, 47-30.
The Terriers continued to chip away at the Lafayette advantage, but the Leopards were able to hold off any comeback effort from St. Francis. A jumper from Lutz followed by a lay-in from Macklin at the ten-minute mark bumped the lead back to 20 for good, 57-37. The Leopards maintained their comfortable lead over the final ten minutes and came away with the 73-51 win.
Lafayette has a quick turnaround, as the Leopards are back in action on Sunday afternoon at Seton Hall.
