had 11 points and 14 rebounds, and Katie Dovey (so.
Willow Hill/Fannett-Metal) chipped in a career-high 12 points
off the bench as KU defeated Mansfield 63-49 to snap a three-game losing streak
Wednesday.
Van Wagner, fresh
off joining the 1,000-point club Saturday against West Chester,
registered the double-double for KU, while Dovey played a
season-high 26 minutes and shot 5-of-9 from the field. Melissa
McQuade (fr. Pittsburgh/Shaler) also had 13 points and grabbed
five rebounds. Lara Dellegrotti (jr. Berwick/Berwick)
rounded out KU's scoring leaders with 12 points.

for the Mounties. Mansfield shot only 26.8 percent on the contest from the
field.
KU (10-13, 3-5 PSAC)
led 27-25 at halftime, but after the teams traded buckets to
start the second half, the Golden bears went on a 9-0 run to extend their lead to 38-27 and
never looked back, shooting 51.9 percent in the second frame.
KU had
previously defeated Mansfield this season 59-51 at Keystone Hall,
where Van Wagner also registered a double-double, scoring 18 points
and grabbing 13 rebounds.
KU, now with three
