WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Senior guard Tamijo Foronda was one rebound and a steal away from the season's first triple-double, as she collected a team-high 14 points, bolstered by nine rebounds and nine steals as the Bison marched over the Christendom Crusaders in a break from CAC play.  Foronda also visited the free throw line 12 times, sinking 10 out of those 12 shots.  The game started at a sluggish pace, with a combined 23 points scored at the 10-minute mark (GU 13, CC 10).  Both offenses struggled to find a groove, going through several scoring droughts before junior guard Pia Marie Paulone's tip-in off a Foronda miss put the Bison ahead for good.  On the other side of the ball, Christendom would not get any closer than 11 points despite being paced by 28 points combined from Beth Thrun (15) and Maria Ross (13). 

     From the defensive end, senior forward Jessica Salisbury led the charge on the boards,  grabbing a game-high 12 rebounds, with fellow mate Brittainy Payne narrowly missing her own double-double, pulling down nine boards and posting 12 points and two rejections.  This game marks the first time all season that the entire starting lineup and players off the bench contributed to the scoring run that culminated in the 38-point victory margin.  Freshman Amelia Palmer connected from beyond the arc for the team's lone three-pointer, as her teammates cheered wildly, pumping her fist on the run back down the floor. Overall, four Bison were in double-digit scoring, with Pia Marie Paulone's 11 and Stacy Jones' 10 notches.  The Buff and Blue scored 26 points off turnovers and built on their lead with 30 points off second-chance scoring, with an extra 17 coming off the bench. 

    The Bison (3-14, 0-7 CAC) continue the home game stretch with the visiting York Spartans (13-6, 7-2 CAC) on Wednesday January 31st. The ball goes up at 6 p.m.
