SCRANTON, Pa. --- The Moravian University women's basketball squad saw its 2022-23 season come to an end in the Landmark Conference Semifinals Wednesday evening as the Greyhounds fell to top seed and No. 3 The University of Scranton, 58-31, on the road.

How It Happened

  • The Royals scored the first two baskets of the game before senior guard Morgan Amy hit a jumper for the Hounds' first points of the night. Moravian struggled shooting in the first quarter, and the squad's only other points of the period came on two free throws by graduate student forward Tessa Zamolyi as Scranton led 16-4 after 10 minutes of action
  • In the second quarter, the Blue & Grey got within eight points on a three-pointer from senior forward Emily Markowski; however, the Royals headed to the locker room with a 26-15 edge
  • After a basket from Scranton to begin the second half, Moravian ran off eight straight points with three-pointers from Zamolyi and Markowski and a jumper by junior forward Sam Osorio to get within five points at 28-23 with 5:37 left in the third quarter. The Greyhounds were still down five, 30-25, after Markowski hit two free throws, but Scranton answered with a 10-0 run and would lead 40-26 after 30 minutes of play
  • The Royals limited the Hounds to just five points in the fourth quarter
