WBB: Fourth-quarter run sinks Gaiters in 68-59 loss to Martlets

SHERBROOKE – The McGill Martlets used a 9-0 run midway through the fourth quarter to break open a tight contest and down the Bishop's Gaiters, 68-59, in RSEQ women's university basketball action at the Mitchell Gym in Lennoxville, Saturday.
 
The Gaiters (7-12, 2-10 RSEQ) got off to a strong start, taking a 12-3 lead six minutes into the contest, but the Martlets responded after a time out with a 7-2 run and cut the Gaiter lead to 14-10 after the first quarter. McGill took their first lead of the game with 5:15 left in the first half, as Marie-Love Michel scored two of her 11 points to put the Martlets up 20-18. McGill stretched their lead to as many as eight points, but a buzzer-beating layup by Edith Noblecilla (Guayaquil, Ecuador/Santo Domingo de Guzmain) cut the Gaiters' halftime deficit to 29-24.
 
The Gaiters again came out of the locker room strong, as they started the first half with an 11-0 run, keyed by seven points from Ashley Milhomme (Repentigny, Que. /Collège Montmorency), to take a 35-29 lead. However, McGill responded with an 11-0 run of their own to restore their five-point lead, at 40-35, and led 44-41 after three quarters.
 
In the fourth quarter, the Gaiters trailed by two, 49-47, with five minutes to play, but a 9-0 Martlets run, keyed by five points from Alex Kiss-Rusk over the next 90 seconds made the score 58-47, putting it out of reach.
 
McGill (15-8, 6-6 RSEQ) was led by Alex Kiss-Rusk, who had a double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds, both game highs. Frédérique Potvin came off the bench to score 16 for the Martlets, while Marika Guerin added 12.
 
For Bishop's, Noblecilla and Milhomme each scored 13 points, while Noemie Hamel-Petit (Magog, Que./Champlain-Lennoxville) and Mara Marchizotti (Buenos Aires, Argentina) added 10 each.
 
The Martlets outshot Bishop's 42% to 34%, and outrebounded the Gaiters 43-36.
 
The Gaiters are back in action on Saturday, Feb. 11, as they host the Laval Rouge et Or in their annual Shoot for the Cure game. Note the special tip-off time of 8 p.m. at the Mitchell Gym.
