Box Score The Oglethorpe Stormy Petrels were unable to keep up in their first home game of the season, succumbing to the Asbury University Eagles Wednesday afternoon in Dorough Field House. The final score was 94-58, as the women's basketball team snapped its two-game winning streak.
Senior Taylor Smith led the team in this game, scoring 12 points. Many of the Petrels were successful on the court, including 12 who entered the scoring column, but it did not quite add up against the Eagles, who made 15 3-pointers and shot 55 percent from the field.
The first quarter saw Asbury pull ahead 20-8, pulling into the lead they would hold for the remainder of the game. The Petrels inched closer in the second half, but were never able to overtake the Eagles.
The final score of 94-58 put the women's basketball team at 2-5 for the season so far. The Stormy Petrels' next game is at home again, against the Yellowjackets of LeTourneau University on Sunday, Nov. 28, at 1 p.m.
