WINCHESTER, Va. - The Shenandoah women's basketball team came up big in its penultimate non-conference game of the season Thursday evening with an 84-44 blowout of visiting Villa Julie College.

Junior Katie Woods (Winchester, Va./Sherando)and freshman Dee Fisher (Arlington, Va./Arlington) led the offensive charge going into the break with 11 and 10 points, respectively. 

The Hornets pulled away in the second half by out-rebounding the visitors 22 to eight and shooting a sizzling 54.5 percent (18-33) from the field. 

Woods finished the game with a game-high 23 points on 10 for 17 shooting while Fisher celebrated her third Dixie Conference Rookie of the Week honor with 19.  

Sophomore point guard Jenny Gray (Summerduck, Va./Liberty) had a double-double with 12 points and 11 boards.
