DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Randolph-Macon women's basketball team had their second game in three days in Daytona Beach on Wednesday afternoon. The Yellow Jackets handed St. Norbert their second loss of the season after a big second half, 55-43.

Location/Venue: Daytona Beach, Fla./Ocean Center

How it Happened:

• The Yellow Jackets jumped out to a 7-2 lead over the Green Knights early in the first, but St. Norbert ended the quarter on a 11-3 run thanks to some turnovers by R-MC to lead 13-10.
• Neither team shot the ball well in the second quarter, as both teams shot under 20% in the frame and combined for just 16 points, as more R-MC turnovers helped St. Norbert extend their lead to seven at halftime.
• R-MC flipped the game in the third quarter, playing stellar defense and shooting 50% from the field to outscore the Green Knights 18-9 and taking the lead after three quarters of play. Catherine Kagey (Roanoke, Va./Faith Chrisitian) posted eight points in the quarter and Jane Elkins (Annandale, Va./Bishop Ireton) grabbed five rebounds to lead R-MC.
• The defense continued to lock down the Green Knights, and the offense continued to score for the Yellow Jackets in the fourth quarter. Julianna Park (Fairfax Station, Va./Davidson Day) knocked down a pair of threes and Kagey added eight more points and six rebounds as R-MC put up 21 points in the frame to win 55-43.

By the Numbers:

• R-MC tied a team season high for rebounds with 46, including 14 offensive rebounds. They last had 46 rebounds against Gettysburg back on Nov. 12.
