Gators Winning Streak Snapped By Wittenberg

Feb 8, 2003

Wittenberg University snapped the Allegheny College women's basketball team's five-game winning streak with a convincing win, 98-45, on their home court. Allegheny (10-11, 8-4 NCAC) committed 40 turnovers and shot just 36.0 percent while the Tigers had 27 steals and shot 51.4 percent from the field.

Wittenberg, now 17-4 overall and perfect in the NCAC at 12-0, had four players in double figures led by Tiffany Keller with 14. The Gators high scorer was sophomore Jackie Tubo (Altoona, Pa./Altoona) who scored nine points on 4-5 shooting off the bench.

The Tigers streaked to a 50-17 lead at the half and continued the dominance in the second half, outscoring the Gators 48-28 over the last 20 minutes.

Allegheny will look to put the game behind them as they face Oberlin at home on Tuesday, February 11, at 7:30 p.m. The Gators, who were third heading into last night's win over Hiram, beat the Yeowomen earlier in the season by seven and are looking to secure at least one home game in the conference playoffs with four NCAC dates remaining.
