Kenyon doubled its five-point first-quarter output with 10 points in the second. The Owls matched their first-quarter scoring in a 1:13 stretch, tying the game 10-10 thanks to three points from <dfn><a href=\"https:\/\/athletics.kenyon.edu\/roster.aspx?rp_id=7294\" rev=\"7294\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anissa Hardy<\/a><\/dfn> and two from <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>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, the Owls faced a 15-point deficit after Capital finished the half on a 20-5 run to go ahead 30-15. The Comets benefitted from being the first team to find its stroke from distance, shooting 3-4 (75 percent) from three over their big run. Additionally, five more makes on six more attempts from the free throw line helped Capital double up on the Owls through 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Kenyon played much better in the third frame as <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> kicked things off with the Owls&#8217; first four points, but Capital still increased its lead by three after outsourcing Kenyon 19-16. After Cooke started the scoring, Orefice took over and poured in a dozen third-quarter points. The senior guard reached 20 points before any Comet scored more than 10 points, but her effort could not pull Kenyon closer as no other Owl reached double-figures until three minutes were left in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Cooke reached double-digits for the second time in two games after leading all players with seven fourth-quarter points. The junior finished with 13 points and eight rebounds, shooting 4-5 from the floor, 5-8 from the free throw line, and adding two blocks and three assists. Gest, a first-year, added five points in the final frame to finish with nine and help Kenyon outscore Capital 15-14 in the period, but the Comets clinched a 60-49 win.<\/p>\n<p>Orefice notched game-highs with 22 points and 10 rebounds, the sixth double-double of her career. The senior has notched 22 points in consecutive games to open the season and is averaging nine rebounds. Hardy, a first-year, pulled down eight boards and finished with four points.<\/p>\n<p>Capital benefitted from a balanced scoring attack, as 34 of their 60 points came from the bench. Five Comets scored between eight and 13 points, with Bri O&#8217;Connor leading the way. Capital only made four more field goals than Kenyon, but they were plus-21 from three-point range after making 8-of-25 triples while holding the Owls to a 1-17 clip.<\/p>\n<p>Kenyon&#8217;s next matchup is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 16, at 7:30 p.m. when the Owls head to Wilmington, Ohio, to take on Wilmington College (3-0).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/athletics.kenyon.edu\/news\/2022\/11\/12\/womens-basketball-three-point-shooting-hurts-owls-against-comets.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; &#13; &#13; Next Game: at Wilmington College 11\/16\/2022 | 8:00 PM &#13; Nov. 16 (Wed) \/ 8:00 PM&#13; &#13; at\u00a0Wilmington College&#13; History &#13; COLUMBUS, Ohio &#8212; The Kenyon College women&#8217;s basketball team could not continue its unbeaten start to the season, falling 60-49 on the road against Capital University.
