Defensive Masterpiece Lifts Women's Basketball to Home Win

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, Ga. -- Covenant women's basketball forced 22 turnovers and held Wesleyan to just 20.3 percent shooting from the field as they won, 52-32, at Barnes PE Center on Lookout Mountain.

Amanda Neff set a career-best with 20 rebounds, the fifth Scot in program history to have 20 or more boards in a game. She also added 12 points to record her second double-double of the season. 

Chloe Bertrand led all scorers with 22 points and six steals, a season-best, while hitting all 10 of her free throws. 

After the Scots went down early in the first quarter, the offense picked it up, scoring seven straight to go up two thanks to Anna Everett's triple. The rest of the quarter stayed close, with the Scots using five late points from Bertrand to close the first period up by three.

Covenant continued building its lead in the second quarter, using a 6-1 run to balloon their lead to eight. After the Wolves closed it to four, another five unanswered, led by Emma Kaye Fuller's three, pushed it to a nine-point lead. Fuller would add a buzzer-beating layup to increase the lead to 11 at the break.

The Scots kept pouring it on in the third by going on an early 7-2 run, capped off by Neff hitting one from downtown. Fuller's short jumper with 1:05 remaining in the period got the lead as high as 18.

In the fourth, Bertrand made her mark, collecting three steals and six points to allow Covenant to put matters to rest. 

Zariah Davis scored 11 and had seven rebounds to lead Wesleyan in both categories.
