McGrory's 20-Point Effort Not Enough as Women's Basketball Falls at Georgetown, 69-57
1/3/2016 12:49:00 PM | Women's Basketball
Washington, D.C. - Junior MC McGrory delivered 20 points on 7-of-10 from the field but the Creighton women's basketball team dropped a 69-57 contest at Georgetown on Sunday, Jan. 3
The loss dropped the Bluejays to 6-9 on the season and 0-3 in BIG EAST play, while Georgetown moved to 8-5 overall and 1-2 in conference play.
The game began in exactly the fashion the Bluejays wanted as Creighton was 5-of-10 from long range in the first 10 minutes to race out to a 21-14 edge. McGrory led the charge with eight points in the opening frame, including 3-of-3 from the field. Moments into the second period the Bluejays pushed their lead to double-digits at 30-20 (7:14) when McGrory sank her fourth trey of the game. Georgetown, however, rallied behind interior toughness to score 11 of the next 13 points to make it a one-point game at 32-31 (3:27). The Hoyas continued to take advantage down the stretch of the second period, seizing its first lead of the game on a trey from Faith Woodard with 17 seconds remaining in the half.
The third quarter was owned by the Hoyas. Georgetown held the Bluejays without a point for the opening five minutes, pushing its lead to 46-35 (5:00). Creighton broke the second half seal with 4:27 remaining when sophomore Jade Owens knocked down a three-pointer from the top of the key. Georgetown answered with back-to-back buckets to build its largest margin of the contest, 50-38, with 2:34 left in the third.
Trailing 58-46 midway through the final period (5:12), the Bluejays got going thanks to a trey from sophomore Myah Mellman. Following a defensive stop, junior Lauren Works broke through the Hoyas defense for a driving layup. Freshman Audrey Faber capped an 8-0 spurt with a traditional three-point play via a driving layup and a free throw (3:08). Georgetown answered the Bluejays with back-to-back buckets from Dorothy Adomako to salt away the game.
McGrory's 20 points led Creighton, while Faber finished with 11 points. Georgetown got a game-high 22 points from Dionna White and 18 from Adomako.
Creighton returns to action on Tuesday, Jan. 5 as the Bluejays face Villanova at 6:00 pm (CT).
