Second Half Propels Gator Women Jan 21, 2006 MEADVILLE, Pa. – The Allegheny College Gators (10-7, 6-2 NCAC) avenged an early season loss against Kenyon College (13-4, 5-3 NCAC) by out-scoring the Ladies 38-23 in the second half en route to a 65-56 NCAC victory on Saturday afternoon.
The first half was back a tightly contested contest, as the game was tied with 5:37 to play in the first half. The visiting Ladies used a six-point run late in the period, propelling them to a 33-27 halftime lead. The Kenyon lead grew to as many as eight with 16:20 to play in the second half before the Gators began their comeback, highlighted by a 23-3 run, taking a 12-point lead with 7:20 to play in the game.
