BLACKSBURG, Va. — Virginia Tech shot 65.5 percent in the first half to open up an 18-point lead and Davidson was forced to play catchup the rest of the way, falling 88-68 Sunday afternoon in a non-conference women's basketball game inside Cassell Coliseum.
The Hokies (5-0) hit 19-of-29 shots in the first half, and used a 25-9 run that spanned the first and second quarters to take command of the game and remain unbeaten on the season. They finished the game shooting 50.7 percent overall and went 16-of-20 at the charity stripe.
Four players reached double figures for Tech, all were starters. Dara Mabrey's led the way with 18 points, followed by Trinity Baptiste, Elizabeth Kitley and Aisha Sheppard with 17 each.
Davidson, which had its three-game winning streak halted, was able to get within nine (38-29) midway through the second quarter on a 10-2 run, but Tech answered with eight straight points and a 16-8 run overall to close the first half up 54-37.
Sarah Donovan had a strong game to pace the Wildcats (4-2). The junior tallied her second double-double of the season, finishing with a career-high 25 points and adding 11 rebounds. She went to the free-throw line a career-best 15 times and swished home nine of those attempts.
Also hitting the double-digit mark was Suzi-Rose Deegan with 10 points off the bench, hitting 7-of-8 free throws. She also added a season best of nine rebounds.
Davidson finished the game shooting just 31.8 percent (21-of-66) from the floor and 5-of-19 from behind the arc. It did go to the line a season-best 34 times (21-for-34) and had a 45-43 edge on the glass, with a season-high 20 of those rebounds on offense.
The Wildcats opened with a brief 8-7 lead early after Adelaide Fuller hit a layup and then were within 11-10 on a pair of Deegan free throws with 5:36 to go in the first quarter.
Virginia Tech answered with a 16-6 run to finish the quarter up 27-16. It then opened the second quarter on a 9-3 run to force a Wildcat timeout with 7:35 on the clock and the score at 34-19.
Davidson continues on with its four-game road trip, facing another ACC-foe, traveling to Duke, Nov. 27.
GAME NOTES: This was just the second meeting all-time between both team's women's basketball programs, with Tech now having won both matchups …. Donovan's double-double gives her 16 for her career … she has 21 career double-digit rebounding games … Davidson's bench outscored the Hokies 26-10.
