Lakewood, N.J.- The Georgian Court University women are off the hot seat as the Lions collected their first triumph of the 2015-16 campaign Tuesday evening, dissecting the University of the Sciences by the score of 67-51 in a key Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) divisional victory.

GCU (1-8, 1-4 CACC) snaps a season-opening winless streak of eight straight while the Devils drop their second straight and fall to 2-7 (2-3 CACC) on the year. The Lions snap a 10-game losing streak to USciences, dating back to the 2009-10 slate when Georgian Court swept the season series from its conference foe.

The home team never trailed in the contest, jumping out to a solid 15-7 advantage after the first quarter of action. The Lions enhanced that surplus to a commanding 18-point margin at intermission with a 34-16 lead heading into the locker room.

Georgian Court would lead by as many as 20 points in the third period when a Destiny Thompson jumper put the Lions ahead by a score of 48-28 with 2:25 to go in the stanza. USciences would never inch closer than 12 points in the fourth-and-final frame as GCU coasted to the satisfying win.

After missing Saturday's contest vs. Wilmington University, Alliyah Berger came back hungrier than ever as the senior collected a whopper of an effort that included 20 points (10-for-18), 11 boards, four assists and three steals. The performance earned the senior her first double-double as a Lion.

Teammate Jada Atchison poured in a career-high 22 points, including a perfect 8-for-8 effort from the charity stripe, while dishing five assists and pilfering three steals. Jaelyn Tweedy contributed 14 points of her own while acquiring four assists and four thefts.

Alex Thomas (Fr.-Hockessin, Del.) paced the Devils with her 18 points while Micah Morgan (Fr.-Newark, Del.) provided 13 points for the visitors. Laura Trisch (So.-Doylestown, Pa.) controlled the glass for USciences with eight boards.

The Lions look to make it two straight when they next take the floor this Saturday afternoon with a CACC contest at Goldey-Beacom College.
