Ending the run, a three-pointer from <dfn><a href=\"https:\/\/athletics.kenyon.edu\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/alexis-newman\/7291\" rel=\"smarttag noopener\" rev=\"7291\" target=\"_blank\">Alexis Newman<\/a><\/dfn> halted Kenyon&#8217;s scoreless drought, which lingered for more than six minutes and resulted in the Owls facing a 51-40 deficit heading into the final quarter of play.<br \/><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-4bd7b1be-7fff-8f36-14f6-e938151c5d32\"><br \/>Kenyon, now with a 5-12 record, did find a way to recuperate and chipped away at the Allegheny advantage. With 4:29 left in the game, <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> completed a three-point play to pull the Owls within five at 60-55. Two possessions later, Cooke popped in a layup and moved Kenyon within three points.

Emily Lauer tacked on a free throw for the Gators and time expired as Kenyon heaved a desperation shot that was off the mark.<\/span><br \/><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-4bd7b1be-7fff-8f36-14f6-e938151c5d32\"><br \/>Back in the first quarter, points were difficult to come by as both teams played lock-down defense. Kenyon was just 4-of-15 shooting, while Allegheny was 4-of-18. The Gator defense also coaxed Kenyon into seven turnovers, but the Owls overcame the miscues and took their first lead of the game when <dfn><a href=\"https:\/\/athletics.kenyon.edu\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/alyssa-gest\/7290\" rel=\"smarttag noopener\" rev=\"7290\" target=\"_blank\">Alyssa Gest<\/a><\/dfn> drained a three-pointer with 1:09 on the clock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In the second quarter, both offenses started to find their rhythm. Allegheny jumped ahead by scores of 17-12 and 19-13, but Kenyon looked to Cooke for an answer. She responded with eight points in the frame and helped direct a 13-6 run that put the Owls back in front, 26-25. <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> then added a three-pointer and Kenyon took a 31-29 lead into the break.<br \/><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-4bd7b1be-7fff-8f36-14f6-e938151c5d32\"><br \/>Cooke, Krslovic and <dfn><a href=\"https:\/\/athletics.kenyon.edu\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/anissa-hardy\/7294\" rel=\"smarttag noopener\" rev=\"7294\" target=\"_blank\">Anissa Hardy<\/a><\/dfn> carried the bulk of the offensive load for Kenyon.
