STEVENSON, Md. – The Shenandoah University women’s basketball team snapped its eight game losing streak Thursday evening with a 65-43 non-league victory at Villa Julie College .

Shenandoah (3-11) had not won since defeating Hood College 59-42 on December 5; the eight losses suffered in the interim was the longest losing streak in Head Coach Kathy Orsini’s career.

Against the Mustangs (2-14), SU wasted little time in seizing the advantage. The Hornets took a 31-21 lead into the halftime lockerroom as their smothering defense held VJC to just eight field goals in 27 attempts (29.6 percent) while SU shot a much better 14 for 39 (35.9 percent).

The second half was more of the same as the visitors pulled away behind 15 points from senior Wendy Legge (Stephens City, Va./Sherando) and 10 points from classmate Rosaline Fisher (Greenscastle, Pa./Hagerstown CC).

All 10 SU players scored at least two points in the contest.
