Click here for the box score

ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. --- Courtney Kofeldt (Coatesville, PA/Holy Spirit, NJ) set a program record with eight three-pointers and finished with a career-high 24 points as Elizabethtown College defeated Immaculata University 82-66 in non-conference women's basketball action on Monday night.

Kofeldt went 8-for-9 from three-point range and sank her final seven attempts to break the single-game record of seven three-pointers set by Erin Walton against Lycoming College on Feb. 19, 2008. The Blue Jays drilled 14 threes as a team to equal the program single-game mark also set against Lycoming last season.

Coupled with her 4-for-4 performance from beyond the arc in Saturday's 76-41 win at Arcadia University, Kofeldt has made 12 of her last 13 shots from three-point range. For the season, she has made a team-high 41 three-pointers and is shooting 43.6 percent.

The victory was the 650th in the 39-year career of Elizabethtown head coach Yvonne Kauffman, ranking her third in Division III history behind Phil Kahler of St. John Fisher College (757 wins) and Mike Strong of the University of Scranton (700 wins).

Megan Quinn (Millersville, PA/Penn Manor) added 21 points and nine rebounds for the Blue Jays (10-7 overall) while Stephanie Ellwood (Orwigsburg, PA/Blue Mountain) posted career highs of 13 points and 13 rebounds and Kelly Sauerzopf (Bethlehem, PA/Saucon Valley) added 11 points, seven rebounds and five blocked shots.

Dominique Murray led the Mighty Macs (6-10 overall) with 15 points and 10 rebounds, while Bridget Welz added 11 points and six assists and Chelsea McTigue posted 12 points and five boards off the bench.

Both teams shot well from long range, as the Blue Jays finished 14-for-27 (51.9 percent) from beyond the three-point line while the Mighty Macs hit five in 10 attempts.

Immaculata recovered from an early seven-point deficit to take a 25-23 lead on a basket by Murray with 2:28 left in the first half. However, three-pointers by Kofeldt and Ellwood sparked an 8-0 run to close the half, giving the Blue Jays a 31-25 lead at intermission.

Elizabethtown shot just 10-for-29 overall from the field in the first half (34.5 percent), but went 6-for-12 from three-point range as Ellwood, Quinn and Kofeldt each sank a pair of threes. Ellwood led all players with nine points and six rebounds in the first half, while Welz paced the Mighty Macs with eight points.

The Blue Jays scored 17 of the second half's first 23 points to take their largest lead to that point at 48-31 on a putback by Ellwood with 14:27 left. Elizabethtown's advantage swelled to 22 points at 69-47 following Kofeldt's seventh three-pointer with 6:57 to go, but the Mighty Macs went on a 13-2 run to pull within 71-60 with 3:57 remaining.

From there, Elizabethtown put the game away as Sauerzopf connected for two layups, Quinn added a basket and Kofeldt hit her record-setting eighth three pointer to push the Blue Jay lead back to 80-63 with 2:23 remaining.

Megan Romano (Jenkintown, PA/Jenkintown) finished with six points, four rebounds and a game-high eight assists for the Blue Jays, who finished with a 48-41 advantage in rebounding over the Mighty Macs and posted a slightly better shooting percentage at 38.8 percent (26-for-67) compared to 24-for-64 (37.5 percent) by Immaculata.

Lycoming led for most of the game's first 12 minutes, but the Blue Jays outscored the Warriors 22-11 over the final eight minutes of the first half to take a 44-34 lead to halftime. Quinn led all players with 16 points and six rebounds in the first half while Montague added 12 points and six boards for Elizabethtown. Cooper led the Warriors in scoring in the opening 20 minutes by scoring all 13 of her points in the contest.

Elizabethtown took its largest led of the evening at 58-41 on a three-pointer by Megan Strohman (Lebanon, PA/Lebanon) with 12:04 to play. Lycoming was able to cut the deficit to 63-56 with 1:36 to go, but could get no closer as the Blue Jays hit four foul shots in the final 90 seconds.

Strohman finished with nine points in 24 minutes off the bench for Elizabethtown, while Courtney Kofeldt (Coatesville, PA/Holy Spirit, NJ) tallied six points and matched her career high with eight rebounds.
