LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, Ga. -- Emma Cook had 19 points and 11 rebounds as Berry College cruised to a 68-46 win at Covenant College on Saturday afternoon.

The Vikes led 39-19 at the break. For the game, Berry forced 28 Covenant turnovers, which resulted in 29 points. CC forced 19 Berry miscues for 13 points.

Berry shot 44-percent (28-64) to CC's 29-percent (16-54). The Vikings had a slight edge in rebounds, 42-41.

"We had a good road win today," said Berry Head Coach Stephanie Dunn. "Covenant played strong, but we were able to change the course of the game midway through the first half with our defense. Imani, Zarriah, and Chanlir turned up the pressure and the reward was us scoring easy baskets from the turnovers. Emma was a force inside today. We were able to play a lot of people and this is important as we get ready for conference games."

Liz Dougherty came off the bench to record 16 points for Covenant.

The Vikings play at Pidemont College on Tuesday at 3 p.m.
