FRONT ROYAL, Va. – The Gallaudet University women's basketball team picked up its first road win of the young season with a 64-51 victory over Christendom College on Monday night in a non-conference game.

Freshman forward Elena Ciccarelli (Whitesboro, N.Y.) increased her double-double streak to three straight games with 14 points and 10 rebounds.

Junior forward Amy Bachtel (Columbus, Ohio) added eight points and six rebounds and sophomore guard Stephanie Weiss (Wellington, Fla.) chipped in seven points, nine rebounds (eight defensive boards), two assists and two steals. The nine rebounds are the second most in Weiss' career as she grabbed 12 in the second game of the season for Gallaudet.

The Bison led 31-23 at the half as they shot 42.1 percent from the field and made two key 3-pointers.

Christendom was paced by Morgan Kavanaugh as she scored a game-high 19 points to go with six rebounds, three assists and two steals. Mary Barbale tallied 14 points and 12 rebounds to notch the double-double.
