Kenyon fell 68-46 on their home court, falling to 1-5 on the season and starting their 2022-23 NCAC campaign with a loss.<\/p>\n<p>The Owls opened the game by making their first field goal, a layup by junior <dfn><a href=\"https:\/\/athletics.kenyon.edu\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/claudia-cooke\/6661\" rel=\"smarttag noopener\" rev=\"6661\" target=\"_blank\">Claudia Cooke<\/a><\/dfn>, but the early edge would be Kenyon&#8217;s only lead of the game. DePauw scored 18 unanswered points before <dfn><a href=\"https:\/\/athletics.kenyon.edu\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/katie-orefice\/6664\" rel=\"smarttag noopener\" rev=\"6664\" target=\"_blank\">Katie Orefice<\/a><\/dfn> converted an and-one to stop the run, but the visitors led 22-7 through one quarter of play.<\/p>\n<p>Kenyon played much better in the second frame, matching DePauw&#8217;s 17 points while shooting a better percentage from the floor. After conceding the first basket, the Owls soared to a 9-2 run thanks to three straight makes from three-point range. Junior <dfn><a href=\"https:\/\/athletics.kenyon.edu\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/bela-krslovic\/6667\" rel=\"smarttag noopener\" rev=\"6667\" target=\"_blank\">Bela Krslovic<\/a><\/dfn> dialed in two while first-year <dfn><a class=\"sidearm-roster-link-normalized\" href=\"https:\/\/athletics.kenyon.edu\/roster.aspx?rp_id=7292\" rev=\"7292\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mikayla Rudolph<\/a><\/dfn> knocked down one. Krslovic converted three trifectas in the second frame, scoring all nine of her points in that period.<\/p>\n<p>The Owls turned things around in the third quarter with offensive efficiency and stout defense, shooting 7-12 (58.3 percent) while holding the Tigers to a 5-19 (26.3 percent) clip. Kenyon outscored DePauw 17-12 in the quarter, cutting their deficit to 10, 51-41, with 10 minutes left in the game. First-year <dfn><a class=\"sidearm-roster-link-normalized\" href=\"https:\/\/athletics.kenyon.edu\/roster.aspx?rp_id=7290\" rev=\"7290\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alyssa Gest<\/a><\/dfn> led the Owls in the third with six points, Rudolph scored five, and first-year <dfn><a class=\"sidearm-roster-link-normalized\" href=\"https:\/\/athletics.kenyon.edu\/roster.aspx?rp_id=7294\" rev=\"7294\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anissa Hardy<\/a><\/dfn> chipped in four.<\/p>\n<p>The 10-point margin is as close as Kenyon would come, however. DePauw opened the final frame with a 9-0 spurt, and Kenyon&#8217;s offense went cold as the Owls shot just 2-10 (20 percent) from the floor despite holding the Tigers to an inefficient 5-18 (27.8) mark.<\/p>\n<p>The visitors benefitted from an 18-4 advantage on the offensive glass, turning their extra chances into a 15-5 edge in second-chance points and a 36-20 margin in paint points. DePauw capitalized after turning Kenyon over, leading 11-5 in steals and 13-2 in fastbreak points after forcing 19 Owls giveaways and turning it over just seven times themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Rudolph led the way for Kenyon, tying a career-high in points and setting a career-best in rebounds with 11 apiece, her first career double-double. Orefice finished with nine points and a game-high six assists, matching a career-high. Krslovic (nine), Gest (eight), Hardy (five), and Cooke (four) rounded out Kenyon&#8217;s scoring.<\/p>\n<p>The Owls have a quick turnaround as they welcome Penn State Shenango (7-1) to Gambier on Tuesday, Dec. 6, for their third of five consecutive home games. The contest is scheduled for a 7 p.m. tipoff in Tomsich Arena.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/athletics.kenyon.edu\/news\/2022\/12\/4\/womens-basketball-owls-cannot-claw-back-after-tigers-take-control-early.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Story Links &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Next Game: Penn State Shenango 12\/6\/2022 | 7:00 PM &#13; Dec. 06 (Tue) \/ 7:00 PM&#13; &#13; \u00a0Penn State Shenango&#13; History &#13; GAMBIER, Ohio &#8212; The Kenyon College women&#8217;s basketball team battled back from a big first-quarter deficit, but the Owls could not [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1410,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[9],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/basketball.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1409"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/basketball.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/basketball.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/basketball.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/basketball.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1409"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/basketball.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1409\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/basketball.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1410"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/basketball.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/basketball.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/basketball.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
