In their season opener and day one of the Yonnie Kauffman Blue Jay Tournament, the Elizabethtown College women's basketball team blew out Marymount (Va.) at Thompson Gymnasium, 79-45. Summer McNulty had a game-high 21 points.

The Blue Jays, a top shooting team from the field not only in the Landmark last season, but across NCAA Div. III, hit at a 50 percent clip Friday night as they finished 32-for-64. McNulty's 21 points came on 9-for-16 from the field and as a team, Etown dominated the paint with 42 in the lane.

Elizabethtown led by 10 points through one quarter, 22-12. They trailed initially, 3-0, in the first 31 seconds, but after Cyleigh Wilson's three pointer, the Jays did not trail again in the game. Later in the first, Allyia Kennedy's second basket of the quarter put EC ahead 18-10 as they were well on their way to generating the double-digit lead by the end of one.

After a hot shooting start, the percentage came down a bit, but Etown still outscored the Saints 18-12 in the second and led 40-24 at halftime.

The Jays combined for 8-of-13 in the third quarter, including 3-for-6 from deep, on the offensive end while holding Marymount to single digits as that lead expanded up to as many as 30 after Kamryn Mengel's trey.

In command of the game, Elizabethtown was able to rotate players in as 20 total earned minutes for the Blue Jays, 13 of which recorded at least a point. Peyton Houlihan and Kiley Wilhelm registered their first career collegiate points while Grace O'Connor scored her first points in an Etown uniform. O'Connor, a graduate student, played her undergrad at Washington & Lee.

DaniRae Renno was also in double figures with 10 points. Jess King had a team-high seven rebounds.

Elizabethtown will face Ohio Wesleyan in the Yonnie Kauffman Blue Jay Tournament Championship tomorrow at 3 p.m.
