Box Score SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- Four players scored in double figures as the Skidmore College women's basketball team took down Vassar, 78-66, in Liberty League play Saturday afternoon at the Williamson Center.

The Thoroughbreds, who extended their winning streak to five games, improve to 6-4 overall and 2-0 in the Liberty League, while the Brewers go to 5-6 overall and 0-2 in league play.

Senior guard Molly McLaughlin produced all 14 of her points in the second half, adding five assists.

Vassar got out to an early lead with a 12-4 run to go ahead 12-7, but the Thoroughbreds answered back, opening a six-point lead after a 17-6 run of their own. After the Brewers pulled back within one from a Rose Serafini layup, Davis and Veronica Moceri hit back-to-back threes, giving Skidmore its biggest lead of the half at 30-23. Vassar got baskets from Ariella Rosenthal and Kim Romanoff to end the half, coming within two at 35-33.

The Brewers carried the momentum into the early stages of the second half, taking the lead with a 5-0 run capped by a Rosenthal three. The Thoroughbreds got back in front with a 10-3 run and after Samarah Cook tied the game 47-47 with a pair of free throws, Skidmore opened its biggest lead of the game with a 14-6 run. McLaughlin capped the run, knocking down a 3-pointer to put the Thoroughbreds in front 61-51 with 5:52 to play.

Vassar cut its deficit to six after Caitlin Drakeley converted on four free throws and Rosenthal hit her fourth three of the game, but Ella Scheurell put the game out of reach, getting a layup to fall to make it 74-64 with 46 seconds to paly after a Botiba steal at the other end of the floor.

Rosenthal led all scorers with a season-high 24 points to go along with seven rebounds. Drakeley had 22 points and nine boards and Colleen O'Connell recorded a double-double with 10 points and 13 rebounds.

The Thoroughbreds shot 47.6% from the field (30 for 63), including a season-high 50% (10 of 20) from 3-point range, while holding the Brewers to 30.7% shooting (23 for 75) for the game and 25% (9 for 36) in the second half.

"This was a strong week and weekend for our team," said Skidmore head coach Darren Bennett. "We had a lot of unusual travel and days off mixed in with games in Puerto Rico and then we opened up league play with not as much preparation as we'd normally ge, so being able to start league play 2-0 is great for us.

"Our team is finding its stride and continuing to come together in every way. Different players are stepping up and maintaining a consistent high level of play. We are getting good things from our non-starters and their contributions are making great things happen for us.

"We still have a lot of work to do on recognizing personnel from the opposing teams, rebounding and from the free throw line but I like what our team is doing."

Skidmore travels to Hartwick for its final non-conference game of the regular season Tuesday, Jan. 6.
