Records fall in Lenoir-Rhyne's 120-70 win at Emory & Henry

EMORY, VA - It was a banner day for the Lenoir-Rhyne women's basketball program. Head coach Emry Tsitouris and her squad took down Emory & Henry 120-70 this afternoon, coming one point shy of the school points record of 121 set against Mars Hill during the 1980-81 season. 

Setting a new school record was junior Tatum Bowen, who hit 10 threes en route to a career high 37 point performance. The 10 threes broke Kennedy Weigt's record of eight set against USC Aiken on November 9, 2019.

The team also broke two records, hitting 19 threes to break their own mark from earlier this season, and scoring 69 first half points to break the record of 59 set against Newberry in 2003.
