Wilkes Women’s Basketball Picks Up Second Straight Win In Dominant Fashion At Pratt

Wilkes Women's Basketball Picks Up Second Straight Win In Dominant Fashion At Pratt

BROOKLYN, N.Y. – Maliyah Warren (Phoenixville, PA/Phoenixville) scored 14 points to lead six Colonels with at least eight points as the Wilkes University women's basketball team earned its second straight win in an 80–39 rout of Pratt Institute on Saturday afternoon.

The win moves Wilkes to 2–1 heading into its Landmark Conference opener on Wednesday night. The Cannoneers fall to 1–4 after the setback.

The Colonels raced to an early 9–2 lead, with four different Colonels scoring the first four baskets and forcing Pratt to call a timeout less than four minutes in. The Cannoneers' defense settled in after Wilkes' hot start, holding the Colonels scoreless for over five minutes, but Warren's first bucket ended the drought and gave Wilkes a one-point lead, 11–10, after one quarter.

Pratt took a brief lead on a layup early in the second quarter, before outscoring the Cannoneers 17–4 the rest of the quarter. The Colonels attacked the glass with 14 points in the paint, including a pair of layups by Anya Richet (Plymouth, PA/Wyoming Valley West). The Colonels stretched their lead to double digits when Kate Reed (Nanticoke, PA/Nanticoke) buried a three-pointer with seven seconds remaining, taking a 28–16 lead into halftime.

After Pratt cut the lead to 31–21, Wilkes opened the floodgates with three straight three-pointers. Alexa Davis (Nazareth, PA/Nazareth Area) knocked down the first before Delaney Bogdan (Long Valley, NJ/Mendham) sank consecutive triples to open up a 40–23 lead with 3:34 left in the third. Bogdan drained another three-pointer later in the period, and Delaney Moyer (Dillsburg, PA/Northern York) made a jumper with five seconds left, expanding Wilkes' lead to 51–27 with 10 minutes left.

With the contest already decided, the Colonels outscored Pratt 29–12 in the fourth quarter, including the final 14 points to seal the one-sided victory.

Warren finished the afternoon with 14 points, four rebounds, four assists, and three steals. Sophomore Aivry Devoy (Milton, MA/Archbishop Williams) recorded a career-high 13 points on six-of-eight shooting, and Bogdan also had a career-best with 11 in only ten minutes. The Colonels' defense also forced an impressive 38 turnovers, including five steals by Charlotte Taylor (Somerville, NJ/Somerville) and first-year Gabriella Flanzbaum (Keansburg, NJ/Keansburg). Wilkes shot 42.5 percent from the field and made nine three-pointers.

Phaedra Michaelides led Pratt with 12 points, and Anabela Jakelic had 13 rebounds and two blocks.

Wilkes opens Landmark play on Wednesday, Nov. 18 at the Marts Center against Lycoming at 7:00 p.m.
