Hitting the floor for the first time since early December, Gordon College Women's Basketball hosted the Vassar College Brewers on Kanas Court this afternoon where the Fighting Scots ultimately fell to their guests, 49-62. 

For the Scots, Madison Wynbeek led her squad with 15 points and 11 rebounds to add another double-double to her stat sheet while Ami Rivera contributed 13 points in the effort. 

Vassar's Julia Harvey carried the Brewers to victory with 12 points followed by Alex Lee and Bella Tawney who booked 11 and 10 points, respectively. 

How It Happened

• The Brewers jumped out to a 15-4 lead after 3:53 minutes of action, however, the Scots chipped away to shrink their deficit in the remaining time to close out the first, 13-17. 
• After almost two minutes of scoreless play, Vassar tacked on a point to their advantage but not long after, Gordon's Wynbeek brought the game within one basket after back-to-back layups at the 6:33 mark (17-19). The Brewers were able to regain a seven-point lead but A. Rivera sunk one from behind the arc to make the score 20-24. It wasn't until 1:12 left in the half when the Fighting Scots grabbed their first edge of the game thanks to a Wynbeek jumper to pull ahead, 28-27. 
• Coming back from the half, Vassar made sure to take back their advantage (29-28) before continuing to add to their lead to enter the final frame, 47-40.
• The Scots booked the first basket of the last quarter with 6:50 remaining on the clock to bring the score to 43-47 after Serianna Anderson landed one from downtown. Moments later, A. Rivera hit a layup to make it a two-point game (45-47) with just under six minutes remaining. The teams traded points until the Brewers took advantage of the charity stripe to regain the double-digit lead with 45 seconds left before taking the eventual 62-49 win over the Scots.
