Jarvis nets game-high 20 against Ithaca

William Smith College senior Brooke Jarvis scored a game-high 20 points against Ithaca College this evening. However, the visiting Bombers scored a 78-56 Liberty League win in Bristol Gym.

Jarvis was 6-of-13 shooting with a 3-pointer and went 7-of-12 at the free throw line. Junior Molly Walsh sank a pair of 3-pointers on her way to 10 points. First-year Amelia McCulley and Jarvis shared team-high honors with seven rebounds apiece.

Ithaca had four players reach double digits led by graduate student June Dickson’s 17 points. Annabella Yorio, Tori Drevna and Camryn Coffey chipped in 13, 12, and 11 points, respectively. Junior Anya Watkins pulled down a game-high eight boards for the Bombers.
