WASHINGTON – Catholic University women's basketball sophomore Cristin George led a balanced scoring attack with 12 points in the Cardinals' 67-37 victory over Wesley in the opening round of the Jamie Lynn Roberts Tournament presented by the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Washington D.C./Downtown on Saturday.

Sophomores Becca Rhoades and Maggie Rakowsky added 10 points each for the Cards (6-4) who will play Neumann in the championship game on Sunday at 3 p.m.

The win on Franny Murray Court at DuFour Center came in the 500th career game for Catholic head coach Matt Donohue after stops at Bloomfield, Elmira and Catholic.

Monshea Newsome-Murray led all scorers with 13 points and had three steals and five assists for Wesley (3-7). Shelby Johnson contributed nine points and grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds.

Catholic scored 26 points on the Wolverines' 29 turnovers and outscored its opponent, 38-13, off the bench.

George produced all of her points from beyond the arc. The 5-foot-8 guard from Bethesda, Md., finished 4-of-6 from distance. She added four boards and three assists in 19 minutes of play.

After making just 2 of 16 3-pointers in the first half, the Cards heated up after halftime. They sank 9-of-15 to break open a game they led 25-20 at the break.
