Hornets Hand Bridgewater First Conference Loss

BRIDGEWATER, Va. – The Shenandoah University women's basketball team secured a statement victory Wednesday evening, defeating top-seeded Bridgewater College 53-41 on the road. The Eagles, previously undefeated in conference play and receiving national votes, suffered their first ODAC loss at the hands of the Hornets.

Shenandoah (12-6, 8-3) was once again led by Terese Greene, who recorded a game-high 25 points on an efficient 9-of-13 shooting from the floor, including 2-of-4 from beyond the arc and 5-of-8 from the free-throw line. With her fifth point of the game, Greene moved into second place on Shenandoah's all-time scoring list. Maddie Kimble, who is now the leader in games played for women's basketball, also delivered a strong performance, contributing 18 points on 5-of-14 shooting, 3-of-9 from three-point range, and a perfect 5-of-5 from the line. Kimble's defensive presence was crucial, as she tallied five steals.

Scoring contributions came from three additional Hornets: Addisyn Banks, who went 2-of-3 from three-point range for six points, while Shawnise Campbell and Jessica Littlejohn each added two points. Emily Williams led the Hornets on the boards with nine rebounds, including four offensive rebounds that helped extend possessions.

As a team, Shenandoah shot 18-of-52 from the floor, 7-of-17 from three-point range, and 10-of-13 from the free-throw line, while holding Bridgewater to 17-of-54 shooting, 2-of-13 from beyond the arc, and 5-of-8 from the charity stripe.

How It Happened

Shawnise Campbell opened the scoring for the Hornets on their first possession, assisted by Gabby Krystofiak. The Eagles responded with a quick basket to tie the game at 2-2, but Shenandoah answered with a dominant 12-0 run, fueled by scoring from Greene and Kimble. During this stretch, the Hornets forced five turnovers and held Bridgewater scoreless until the Eagles finally connected on a three-pointer with just over four minutes remaining in the first quarter. After another three-pointer by Bridgewater, Greene ended their 6-0 run with a basket, giving Shenandoah a 16-8 lead heading into the second quarter.

Addisyn Banks extended the lead early in the second quarter with a three-pointer following a rebound by Skai Bayless. However, the Hornets endured a three-minute scoring drought, allowing Bridgewater to go on a 6-0 run. Kimble halted the Eagles' momentum with a three-pointer, followed by another deep shot after a Bridgewater basket. Both teams exchanged baskets for the remainder of the quarter, and Shenandoah entered halftime with a 27-20 advantage.

In the third quarter, Greene and Kimble continued their offensive dominance, combining to score the Hornets' first 13 points before Littlejohn added the final basket of the period. Shenandoah's defense remained strong, holding the Eagles to just eight points, mirroring their defensive performance in the first quarter.

Banks started the fourth quarter with another three-pointer, pushing the lead to 45-28. Both teams struggled offensively in the final frame, exchanging baskets with just over six minutes remaining. Bridgewater made a late push, cutting the deficit to single digits at 49-40 with one minute left, but Shenandoah responded by sinking key free throws from Kimble and Greene to seal the 53-41 victory.
