Jayhawks Overcome Sluggish Start for 14-Point Win

JAMESTOWN, NY - The Jamestown Community College (JCC) women's basketball team started out sluggish Friday night in their home game against Lorain County Community College before turning it on late to win by 14 points.

JCC fell into a quick 9-3 hole before a little run gave them their first lead off of a Felicity Thiem layup to make it a 12-10 Jayhawk advantage.

The back-and-forth continued through the first quarter, with Lorain holding a 13-10 edge.

Jamestown continued to trail most of the second quarter before Samantha Probst knocked down back-to-back threes to push JCC back in front, 26-23. The freshman scored 12 on the night, but Lorain closed the half on an 8-0 run to lead 31-26 at the break.

The halftime speech by head coach Dave Turnbull must have been special, as JCC came out of the break a different team.

They stormed back to tie it up at 35-35 on a backdoor cut from Probst, then a rebound and bucket from Thiem once again put the Jayhawks on top 37-35.

Jamestown went on to win the third quarter 14-8 to take a one-point lead into the final frame.

The fourth quarter belonged to the Jayhawks. Over a 60-second span, Ashlynn Delcamp banked home a pair of layups for four of her ten points, Mila Espinoza, who led JCC with 13, and Probst also scored, and just like that, JCC was up eight.

Jamestown never looked back, winning 61-47.

The victory moves JCC to 11-6 on the year.

Jamestown is back home on Sunday, January 18th, at noon, when they host Orange County Community College as part of a women's and men's doubleheader.
