The 'Return of the Mack' spurs Gallaudet to first conference win

WASHINGTON – There was no stopping Gallaudet University's Mackenzie Schirg (Factoryville, Pa.) on Tuesday night in the Field House as the sophomore forward balled out to the tune of 27 points and 14 rebounds. Schirg led the Bison to their first United East win this season with a 63-50 win over Lancaster Bible College.

Schirg, nicknamed Mack, took over the game in the second half and made 11 of 13 shots to net 23 points to go with five rebounds and made three steals in 18 minutes played. She set career marks for points (27), rebounds (14), field goals (13-for-17) and steals (three).

Gallaudet (2-11, 1-4 United East) entered the game with a problem turning the ball over as the Bison averaged 32 turnovers per game.

It was a completely different Bison team on Padden Court against the Chargers as GU only turned the ball over 13 times, a new season low, and played in control and made the most of its possessions.

GU was very consistent as it scored 16 points in three of the four quarters as the Bison recorded 15 points in the third quarter. On the flipside, Lancaster Bible (7-11, 5-1 United East) scored 12 points in each of its quarters except the first when the Chargers had 14.

First-year center Kayla Debrow (Jacksonville, Fla.) scored 12 of her career-high 15 points in the first half as the Bison led 32-26 at the break. Debrow and Schirg finished with double-doubles with a game and career-high 14 rebounds each. Debrow added two blocks, two assists and one steal.

The third Bison in double figures was sophomore forward Sophia Wascher (Noblesville, Ind.) as she tied her career-high with 12 points to go with eight rebounds. Senior guard Sunita Schmidjorg (Austin, Texas) made her first home start this season and brought great energy and hustle to the court and tallied seven points, passed out five assists and grabbed three boards. Junior guard Seanna Baird (Indianapolis, Ind.) passed out a game-high seven assists and five steals (career best). GU finished with 18 assists and 12 steals in the win.

The Chargers had three players in double digits led by Rachel Nolt's 18-point game as she added nine rebounds, two blocks and two steals. 

This was the fourth straight win for Gallaudet over Lancaster Bible.

UP NEXT
Gallaudet will head north to La Plume, Pa., this weekend for an away 3 p.m. conference game at Keystone College (3-14, 2-4 United East).
