DAVIDSON, N.C. — Freshman Katie Turner tied a season-high with six three-pointers on her way to 21 points to lead Davidson to its first Atlantic 10 victory with a 77-67 win at home Sunday afternoon against Rhode Island in women's basketball inside John M. Belk Arena.
Turner went 6-for-7 from behind the arc and reached the 20-point for the second time this year. Davidson (6-10, 1-2 A-10), which halted a three-game skid and a four-game league losing streak, went a season-best 9-of-16 overall on three-pointers.
The Wildcats shook off a slow first quarter, which saw them fall behind by 10 points and 20-11 at the end of the quarter, to outscore URI 47-28 between the second and third quarters. They scored a season-high 25 points in the third quarter alone.
For the second time this year, the 'Cats put four scorers in double digits. Following Turner's 21 points, Mackenzie Latt netted 19 points and added a game-high 12 rebounds for her fourth double-double this year and the 23rd of her career.
Justine Lyon kept her double-figure scoring streak alive with 10 points to go with seven rebounds and five assists, while Kianna Speight came off the bench to net 10 as well for her fourth game in a row in the double figure column. Lyon has a career-best 13-game streak.
Rhode Island (2-14, 0-3 A-10) had two score in double figures, paced by Nicole Jorgensen's 25 points. Miaia Moffitt had 10 points.
Turner capped a 13-6 run in the second quarter with a triple to start erasing the 'Cats 12-point deficit and make it 29-24. Later, a Speight three-ball in the corner got the 'Cats within two (31-29) before a layup to close the quarter by Latt made it 34-33 at the half.
Davidson took its first lead, 36-34, since the opening bucket to start the game with another Turner three-ball to start the third quarter. After the Rams went back up 41-38 a few minutes later, the Wildcats took control with a 20-7 run to finish the quarter up 58-48.
The lead would grow to 15 three times in the fourth quarter, twice on buckets from Ally Welling at 72-57 and 74-59.
Davidson had a 45-41 edge on the glass and dished out 16 assists, while scoring 21 points off of Ram turnovers.
The Wildcats hit the road for a 12 p.m. mid-week game at Fordham this coming Wednesday, Jan. 10.
GAME NOTES: This was the fifth meeting all-time between both teams … Rhode Island leads 3-2, but Davidson has won the past two meetings in a row … Justine Lyon has scored in double figures in 36 of her the last 39 games overall dating back to last season… it was her team-leading 15th double-digit scoring game today … Latt has 10 double-digit scoring games this year and 74 for her career … the Wildcats dished out 16 assists, giving them 106 combined in the last seven games … the 40-rebound game was the fifth of the season for Davidson.
