George Becomes All-Time Rebounding Leader as Women’s Basketball Falls to Gwynedd-Mercy



GWYNEDD VALLEY, Pa. (Jan. 7, 2017)- Senior Mallory George (Berkeley Heights, N.J. / Governor Livingston) became Centenary's all-time rebounding  leader with 11 rebounds and 13 points as the Centenary University women's basketball team had their four-game winning streak snapped with a 77-57 loss to Gwynedd Mercy University on Saturday afternoon.

Nicole Dombrowski finished with 17 points and 11 rebounds for the Griffins who improve to 6-7 overall and 4-0 in the Colonial States Athletic Conference. Junior Rachel Edwards (Phillipsburg, N.J. / Phillipsburg) connected on four three pointers and finished with 23 points for the Cyclones who fall to 10-3 overall and 4-1 in the CSAC.

George entered the game needing just three rebounds to surpass Marissa DiStasio ('07-11) for first on the all-time rebounds list. She took first on the all-time list at the 6:08 mark off the first quarter, off a missed jumper from GMercyU Julianna Hoisington.

George and Edwards combined for 21 of the Cyclones 27 first half points as Centenary trailed 32-27 at the break. Bianca Adams knocked down three triples and totaled 10 points in an opening half that saw Dombrowski and Kucowski combine for only seven points.

In the second half, the Griffins torched the Cyclones for 45 points and shot 54.1% from the floor. Centenary opened the half on an 8-4 run, which cut the lead to 36-35 on a three pointer by junior Julia Presant (Cherry Hill, NJ / Cherry Hill East) at the 7:05 mark of the third quarter.

That would be the closest the Cyclones would get as the Griffins closed the game on a 23-10 run over the final 9:00 minutes. Dombrowski and Kucowski combined for 22 points in the latter 20.

George added six assists, while senior Melissa Rabe (Byram, N.J. / Lenape Valley) totaled seven rebounds and four points. Junior Amber Reisenwitz (Cresco, Pa. / Pocono Mountain East) finished with three rebounds and three assists, while Presant chipped in with seven points.

Head Coach Rose Haller and the Cyclones will return to action on Wednesday, Jan. 11th, hosting the Golden Eagles of St. Joseph's from Long Island at 6:00 p.m.
