Recap Regular Season Meeting: Sun 75 Orange 62
In the final game to finish Tuesday night, Orange’s Natalie Mehl sank six three point baskets and scored 24 points but the Sun’s second half defense was too much for the Orange (Ursinus College) squad as the fell to 1-2 on the season with Sun gaining their first win 75-62.
Jasmine Elum (Bethune-Cookman ’12) and Emily Violante(Gettsyburg ’25) led ten scoring players for the Sun squad with 14 points apiece.
Erin Doherty (Catholic U.) joined Mehl in double figures for Orange with ten points.
The two teams played back and forth basketball throughout the first two quarters with the score deadlocked 20-20 after the first quarter and 36-36 at halftime. Sun’s defense went to work in the third quarter, limited Orange to just five points while outscoring their opponent 22-5 to take a 58-41 lead.
Seven different players scored for Sun in the third quarter with only one player, Violante (five third quarter points) scoring more than four points.
Sun held Orange to just one field goal, a Kylie McNicholas three-point basket midway through the quarter and Mehl later added two free throw late in the period.
Orange produced a bit more offense in the fourth quarter, outscoring Sun 21-17 in the final period, but was never able to cut the deficit to single digits as Sun closed out the 75-62 decision.
