December 14, 2006

LOUISVILLE - Monica Vonderbrink had 13 points, seven rebounds and two assists and point guard Alison Denbow pulled down a game-high 10 rebounds Wednesday as the Centre College women earned a 69-55 road win at Spalding University.

"We had a great game tonight from a lot of people tonight," Centre coach Wendie Austin-Robinson said. "We had an outstanding game from Monica. And Rebecca Rhule was playing out of position in the post, but had a good game (2-for-2 3-pointers, 15 points, four rebounds).

Vonderbrink nailed three of six 3-pointers as Centre (3-4) was 10-for-23 from behind the arc and 24-for-65 overall (36.9 percent).

Chrystal Claunch was 2-for-3 from 3-point range and finished with 14 points, three assists and four steals and Lauren Clontz finished with a game-high five assists. Centre led 34-22 at the half.

Spalding (0-10) was 19-for-52 from the field (36.5 percent), and was led in scoring by Allie Graves' 15 points.

Centre outrebounded Spalding 36-34. "We finally did an outstanding job blocking out and just gave them one shot at the basket for most of the night," the Centre coach said. "We really relied on our defense for most of the game. It was just a great team effort."

Centre plays at Transylvania at 2 p.m. Saturday.
