ROSEMONT, Pa. – Freshman Kayla Burnett dished out a school record 15 assists to lead the Centenary University women's basketball team to an 87-57 win at Rosemont College in Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) play on Wednesday night. The Cyclones scored their most points in a game since the 2017-18 season.

Burnett's 15 assists in tonight's game broke Miki Bodino's school single-game record of 13 helpers that came during the 1992-93 season.

"Kayla is a very talented and unselfish freshman," said head coach Rose Haller. "She is capable of doing a lot for this team and needs to demand that of herself."

The Cyclones found themselves down 6-2 with 6:45 to go in the first quarter after a pair of early three-pointers by the Ravens.

Centenary responded with seven straight points and took a 9-6 edge with 4:37 remaining in the period. Sophomore Taylor Bossert drained a three-pointer during that stretch.

The two teams traded points to start the second quarter as sophomore Victoria Jacobs' jumper at 7:34 put the visitors ahead 26-18.

A traditional three-point play from Escano at 5:18 extended the Centenary advantage to 33-23.

The Cyclones closed the second quarter on a 6-2 run and took a 43-29 lead at the break.

A three-pointer from Bossert at 6:47 of the third quarter gave Centenary a 48-31 lead.

The two teams continued to battle over the final five minutes of the game. Freshman Zaniera James had four points during that final stretch to help the Cyclones secure the 87-57 win.

Centenary shot 52.8 percent from the field in the contest and were a perfect 6-for-6 from the foul line. Rosemont posted a 38.6 field goal percentage and went 4-for-10 from the foul line. The Cyclones won the rebounding battle, 45-28.

Eleven Cyclones scored at least two points in the contest. That group was led by Bossert, who poured in a career-high 23 points while Escano came off the bench to score a season-high 18 points. Also scoring in double figures for the Cyclones were Tarnowski and Brandt, who each had 10 points.
