COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. - The Swarthmore College women's basketball team suffered a road defeat at the hands of Ursinus College, 78-51, on Wednesday night. 

Catherine Chadwell put together another incredible performance, scoring a game-high 24 points with five steals while shooting 8-of-15 from the field.

- Ursinus continued to pull away in the second quarter, holding a 13-3 advantage. Carly Murphy tallied the lone Swarthmore field goal, while Vianna Kanyamiheto-Watson added a free throw. The Bears went into the locker room with a 40-15 edge. 

- Early in the third, Chadwell added a three-pointer and a jumper to tally the first five Swarthmore points. Chadwell, Kanyamiheto-Watson and Lily Czub all connected from long range to close the quarter, but the Bears won the stanza with a 26-20 advantage.
