MIDDLEBURY, Vt. – The Norwich women's basketball team faced a tough 92-58 loss at Middlebury on Saturday night in non-conference action.

For Norwich, senior Karissa Doyon rose to the challenge of the NESCAC Panthers by netting 20 points in the game, as she went 7-of-15 in shooting. Doyon shot a perfect 2-of-2 in 3-pointers and 4-of-4 from the line in free-throws, while also contributing two rebounds, a steal, and one assist in the contest.

Senior captain Christine Daniels did what she could to protect the Cadets' territory by recording 10 boards and 18 points against the Panthers. Daniels was 8-of-20 in shooting and achieved one block and three steals on the opponents' home court.

The Cadets trailed 33-40 at the half, and were overcome in the second frame with a 25-52 shooting deficit.
