WOMEN'S BASKETBALL FALLS AT STANFORD IN SEASON OPENER

Stanford, Calif. – Stanford University defeated the Le Moyne College women's basketball team by a score of 107-43 Monday night inside Stanford's Maples Pavilion in the season opener for both sides.

Four different Cardinal players scored in double figures, led by redshirt-junior guard Jzaniya Harriel who tallied a game-high 24 points on 6-7 from three-point range, and 6-8 from the line.

Le Moyne graduate forward Haedyn Roberts (Holland Patent, N.Y./Holland Patent) registered her eighth career double-double, and her first against a Division I opponent, with a team-high 15 points and a game-high 12 rebounds in 28 minutes played. Roberts converted a career-best five three-point field goals during the setback on 10 attempts.

Redshirt-freshman guard Amya McLeod (Rome, N.Y./Rome Free Academy/Youngstown State) also scored in double figures for the Dolphins with 11 points.

"I told the team at halftime how unbelievably proud I was of them for the first 14 minutes or so of the game," said Le Moyne head coach Nick DiPillo following his first game with the Dolphins. "We stayed true to character, we battled them on the glass, we got the type of shots we wanted for the most part, and I think when those shots started to not fall, we started to force things, we got out of character and that's when you saw the turnovers lead to points off turnovers and the flood gates started opening. I know it's crazy to say when you look at the box score, but we can see a lot of positives and opportunities for growth out of this," DiPillo added.

Along with McLeod, graduate guard Megan Bodziony (Wakefield, R.I./St. Andrew's School/Fordham/Bryant), freshman guard Eli Clark (Oakhurst, N.J./Ocean Township), sophomore guard Jessica Wangolo (Ottawa, Ontario/Capital Courts Academy/Buffalo), and senior guard Mia Yanogacio (Somerset, N.J./Rutgers Prep/Delaware) each made their Le Moyne debuts during the non-conference contest.

Yanogacio contributed six points for the Dolphins with two made threes, while Clark and senior guard Emily Florvil (Brooklyn, N.Y./Nazareth) dished out two assists each.

Stanford set a program record with 18 made threes on 34 attempts in the team's first game under new head coach Kate Paye.

Le Moyne shot 8-24 (33.3%) from three-point range and tallied 18 bench points.

Yanogacio and Bodziony both knocked down a three-point field goal for Le Moyne in the early going to put the Dolphins ahead 6-4 midway through the first quarter. Back-to-back made threes by Harriel gave the Cardinal 10-6 advantage.

Roberts added a three-pointer at the 2:09 mark of the first period, McLeod sank a free throw less than a minute later to make it 16-10 in favor of Stanford after 10 minutes of action.

15 of Stanford's 16 first-quarter points came via three-point field goals, then the Cardinal shot 7-10 from long range during the second period to establish a 50-22 lead at halftime. Stanford extended its lead during the third frame with 16 points in the paint to go along with two threes and four free throws. Senior guard Elena Bosgana finished with 19 points, seven rebounds, two assists and two steals for Stanford, while sophomore forward Nunu Agara, a Pac-12 All-Freshman honorable mention selection a season ago, added 18 points on 8-13 shooting from the field. Sophomore forward Mary Ashley Stevenson pulled down a team-high 10 rebounds in her Stanford debut.

The Cardinal, in their inaugural season as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference, won each of the last three Pac-12 Regular Season Championships, and received votes in the Associate Press Top 25 women's basketball preseason poll.

The Le Moyne women's basketball team will return to action on Thursday with a non-conference game at Stony Brook before hosting Rhode Island on November 10 at Ted Grant Court for its home opener.
