GETTYSBURG, Pa.–In its final game of the Gettysburg Tournament, the Swarthmore College women's basketball team fell by a 68-48 score to the Juniata Eagles on Tuesday, Jan. 3.

Kayla Sembly paced the Garnet with 11 points and Abigail Posta pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds. Lindsay O'Sullivan nearly collected a double-double on nine points and nine boards.

Swarthmore picked up 23 boards on the offensive glass, which led to 17 second-chance points, but were narrowly outrebounded by a 51-50 margin.

The first quarter was a back-and-forth contest with the Garnet leading by as many as four points. The Eagles managed to the game at 11 apiece with 57 seconds remaining in the period and answered a three by Sembly with one of their own to keep it deadlocked entering the second.

Swarthmore was outscored by a 21-5 margin and trailed 35-19 at halftime. O'Neil and O'Sulivan both recorded four points in the third, but the Garnet were unable to reduce their deficit.
