Bethlehem, PA (November 20, 2012) – Moravian College out-scored the Bulldogs, 43-33, in the second-half en route to a 69-57 win over the DeSales University women's basketball team in the annual battle on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving at Johnston Hall.

DeSales (2-1) was led by junior Sondrine Glovas led the way with 15 points and also pulled down nine rebounds, while freshman Brittany Pierzga recorded her first career double-double with 10 points and a team-high 15 rebounds.  Junior Alexiah Grant added 11 points and four assists and junior Faith Gilbert had seven points off the bench.

Sophomore Alexis Wright carried the Greyhounds (4-0) totaling 28 points and 20 rebounds, despite shooting just 9-for-25 from the field, and Katie O'Rourke stuffed the stat sheet with 12 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, and four steals in the win.

A poor shooting first-half by both teams that saw neither team shoot better than 22.2 percent saw Moravian finish the half on a 7-0 run to take a 26-24 lead into the locker room.

The second half started back-and-forth and was tied at 36 with 14:41 to go before a 6-0 Greyhound run gave the hosts the lead for good.

The Bulldogs got within two points, 50-48, on lay-ups from Gilbert and Pierzga at the 8:15 mark but six straight points from Moravian pushed the lead to eight and DSU never got any closer than six the rest of the way.

DSU once again struggled from the field shooting just 24.7 percent from the field.  Moravian rebounded from a poor shooting first half to shoot 41.9 percent in the second half.  The Greyhounds also dominated the glass out-rebounding the Bulldogs 68-54 for the game.  DSU did force 27 Moravian turnovers.

The Bulldogs break for the Thanksgiving holidays and will return to action on Wednesday, November 28th when they open Freedom Conference play at home vs. FDU-Florham beginning at 6:00 pm.
