Bednarek Nets Career-High; LaVerghetta Near Triple-Double Lead Women's Basketball past Mary Washington

Selinsgrove, PA (November 9, 2025) - Senior Lindsay Bednarek had a career-high 30 points and sophomore Marissa LaVerghetta was just two assists shy of a triple-double leading the DeSales University women's basketball team past Mary Washington, 81-59, in the consolation game of the Susquehanna University Tip-off Tournament on Sunday afternoon.

The Basics
  • Final Score: DeSales - 81, Mary Washington - 59
  • Records: DeSales (1-1 Overall); Mary Washington (0-2 Overall)
  • This was a rematch of these two teams meeting in the NCAA Tournament in 2023 as the Bulldogs avenge that loss and even the all-time series at one win each.
How it Happened
  • The first quarter was a back-and-forth affair that saw neither team lead by more than three and tied at 16 after the first 10 minutes of play.
  • A three from senior Mackenzie Gordos gave DSU a three-point lead to start the second quarter and the Bulldogs never trailed the rest of the game, leading by as many as eight points in the quarter and by seven (37-30) at the halftime break.
  • The Bulldogs used an 11-1 run to start the second-half, taking a 17-point lead (48-31), as senior Sammi White scored four of the 11 points during the spurt.
  • Mary Washington cut the margin down to 12 points twice, including 62-50 after three quarters of play.
  • It was a nine point game early in the fourth quarter when senior Mikaili Donmoyer and senior Emma Pyne hit back-to-back 3's igniting an 8-0 run that put the Bulldogs up 70-53 with 6:52 left and DSU never looked back after that.
