ITHACA, N.

All five seniors found the scoring column as the Big Red used a decisive 14-0 run to close the first half and open the second to roll to the Senior Night victory.

DiMagno posted her fourth 20-point game of the season and eighth of her career to lead the Big Red, while Long had a season-high 19 points.

Freshman forward Nia Marshall went 3-for-3 for seven points and freshman guard Kerri Moran handed out eight assists, pulled down five rebounds and posted one steal.

Dartmouth, who came into the game winners of two in a row, was led by Lakin Roland's 14-point, 11-rebound double-double. Milica Toskovic had nine points and Abbey Schmitt and Nicola Zimmer finished with eight points apiece.

The Big Red shot 48 percent (25-of-54) overall and went 35 percent from 3-point range (6-of-17), while holding Dartmouth to 42 percent overall (19-of-45) and just 23 percent beyond the arc (3-of-13). The Big Green held the slim 29-28 edge in rebounds but had 21 turnovers to Cornell's 17.

The game was played at a fairly slow pace early on and DiMagno carried the Big Red through the first 17 minutes of the game, scoring 15 of Cornell's first 20 points, including a layup off a beautiful pass from Long to make it 18-18 and spark the decisive 14-0 scoring run.

After DiMagno's game-tying bucket Marshall scored all five of her first half points in the final 1:38 of the first stanza and Davidson opened the second half by hitting back-to-back buckets before a trey from Long made it a 32-18 Cornell lead with 18:23 to play in the game.

The Big Green fought back, using a 9-2 run of its own to make it a five-point contest at the 15:04 mark, but a traditional 3-point play by DiMagno opened another 11-2 run by the home team which featured six points from Long to put Cornell up 47-31 with 10 minutes to play.

The Big Red led by double digits the rest of the way and rolled to 63-50 the victory.
