Box Score PHILADELPHIA – The Big Red women's basketball team ran into a hot-shooting Penn squad at the Palestra and fell to the Quakers, 67-40. Cornell is back in action tomorrow as it travels to Princeton to take on the league-leading Tigers at 6 p.m.

Cornell (11-11, 3-5) was led by the forward duo of Clare Fitzpatrick and Allyson DiMagno, who finished with 15 and 12 points, respectively. Fitzpatrick also pulled down a team-high seven rebounds with DiMagno grabbing five to see her streak of three games with a double-double come to an end.

The Big Red shot just 27 percent from the floor and missed all 10 of its 3-point attempts.

Penn (13-9, 6-2) shot lights out, connecting on 46 percent for the game and a solid 38 percent from 3-point range. The Quakers were led by Alyssa Baron's 11 points, while Kara Bonenberger finished with 10, but it was the bench that came up big for the home team, outscoring Cornell 25-7. Baron also grabbed a game-high eight rebounds to help Penn to a 39-32 advantage for the game.

The opening moments of the contest featured tough defense by both squads that resulted in a combined 19 turnovers with nine steals, but after keeping it close, Penn scored nine unanswered points over a span of nearly three minutes to go up, 25-11 with 2:53 to play in the first half. Cornell came to life in the final moments of the half, punctuated by a driving layup by Spencer Lane at the buzzer, to go into the intermission trailing, 30-17.

DiMagno opened the second half with a driving layup to make it an 11-point game and moments later a layup from Fitzpatrick cut Penn's lead to 33-23, but that's as close as it would get as Penn rolled to the 67-40 victory.
