Shinya Lee powered No. 12 Gettysburg to a 54-44 win over No. 22 Johns Hopkins in the first of two meetings between the top teams in the Centennial Conference.

Gettysburg seized the lead midway through the first quarter with a 10-0 run and never relinquished it. Lee and Jameson Mott pushed the Bullets’ lead to 46-31 early in the fourth quarter. After missing all their three-point attempts in the first three periods, the Bluejays hit three in the fourth and got as close as 48-41 on Michaela O’Neil’s three. But Lee responded with a jumper and Alaiyna Arnolie took Gettysburg’s lead back to double digits with four free throws in the closing minute.

Lee paced Gettysburg (13-1, 3-0 CC) with 11 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks, giving her 200 in her career. Johns Hopkins (9-3, 3-1) struggled offensively, shooting 29 percent from the field, 14 percent from three and 36 percent from the foul line.

Sienna Hinds scored 11 points in the fourth quarter and No. 24 Trine pulled away from No. 15 Hope, 76-66, and into first place in the MIAA.

Hinds opened the fourth quarter with a pair of threes that gave the Thunder a 57-53 lead. Hope pulled within 59-58 on Olivia Bellows’ three, but that was the Flying Dutch’s last field goal for a five-minute span. Hinds extended Trine’s lead to 70-60 with 1:15 to play and Sydney Wagner put the game away with four late free throws. All-American Wagner led Trine (12-2, 5-0 MIAA) with 21 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. Anna Richards scored 15 points off the bench for Hope (11-3, 4-1 MIAA), which will host on Feb. 15.

No. 16 Washington U. welcomed travel partner Chicago to St. Louis and rolled over the 19^th-ranked Maroons, 72-45. Jessica Brooks hit a buzzer beater at the end of the first half to send WashU into the locker room with an 11-point lead and the Bears blew the game open with a 14-0 run in the fourth quarter.

Jessica Brooks tallied 22 points and seven boards for WashU (10-2, 1-0 UAA), which shot 50 percent from the field.

Top-ranked NYU was similarly impressive in its conference opener, blasting Brandeis, 95-41, behind another eye-popping performance by 2024 Player of the Year Natalie Bruns. She racked up 13 points, eight assists, five steals and three rebounds in 23 minutes for the Violets (12-0, 1-0 UAA). 

No. 23 Carnegie Mellon came from behind to beat Case Western Reserve, 69-63, in Cleveland. The Tartans outscored the Spartans 25-14 in the fourth quarter and Catherine Orr poured in 29 points for CMU (11-1, 1-0 UAA).

Four starters scored double figures for UW-Stout, and the Blue Devils defeated No. 7 UW-Whitewater, 76-65. Amanda Giesen scored 20 points and All-American Raegan Sorenson rolled up 16 points, nine rebounds and six assists for UW-Stout (11-3, 2-1 WIAC), which is 7-1 after battling through early season injuries. The Warhawks dropped their second straight and will host undefeated No. 5 UW-Oshkosh on Wednesday night. The Titans took care of UW-Platteville at home, 60-44.

Kasey Schipfer poured in a career-high 34 points to lead No. 20 Ohio Wesleyan past Wittenberg, 77-59, in the first of two games between the NCAC title hopefuls. Schipfer scored 21 points in the first half and keyed a 7-0 fourth quarter run that put the game away for the Battling Bishops. Ohio Wesleyan (12-2, 3-0 NCAC) outscored the Tigers 40-22 in the paint.

No. 10 Smith smothered Springfield, 70-49, in a non-conference matchup between the NEWMAC rivals, as the Pioneers held the Pride to three assists against 30 turnovers. Ally Landau had 10 points and four steals in 23 minutes for Smith (12-1), which will travel to Springfield in the teams' lone conference game on Jan. 29.
