SELINSGROVE, Pa. — The Catholic University women's basketball team rode a strong performance from Keegan Douglas to a victory over Susquehanna on Saturday afternoon.

After emerging from the opening stanza with a 21-14 lead, Catholic ratched up the defense to grab control of the game. Matt Donohue's squad held the River Hawks to just five points in the second quarter and opened up a 17-point halftime lead.

It was more of the same in the third quarter as the Cardinals put the game to bed, outscoring Suquehanna 21-6.

Freshman Anna Scoblick also produced a great game for Catholic, grabbing nine rebounds and scoring six points on 2-of-2 shooting. Erin Doherty pitched in with seven points and two steals while Douglas added to her career-high performance with three rebounds, two steals and one assist.

The Cardinals were able to get out and run and saw success when they did so, outscoring Susquehanna 19-2 on the fast break. Catholic took advantage of its depth, as 16 players featured in the contest with nine playing 10 minutes or more.
