Box Score

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Averett senior Mette Scheiman became only the seventh player in program history to score 1,000 points. The milestone was bittersweet, however, as it came in a 70-58 loss to Albright College on Sunday during the Cougars' final game at the Land of Magic Classic.

Albright (6-4) dominated from the start en route to a 43-25 halftime lead thanks to a 20-point advantage in the paint. That lead grew to 20 points in at the start of the second half. Yet, the Cougars didn't go away. Averett (1-8) used a 12-2 run to trim the deficit to 10 by the 15:53 mark. A 7-0 run midway through the half got the Albright lead down to 53-48 with under nine minutes to play and put the Cougars within striking distance.

The Lions answered with a 7-0 run of their own to push their cushion back to double digits, leaving the Cougars with too much room to make up with not enough time on the clock.

Albright's Tara Sabotchick and Meghan Boyle led the Lions with 22 points and 21 points, respectively.

Scheiman finished with 15 points to increase her career total to 1,002 points. Scheiman, who holds Averett's program records for career 3-pointers, fittingly reached the 1,000-point milestone on a 3-pointer with 3:43 to play. She added a layup moments later.

Three of the seven 1,000-point scorers in program history have achieved the mark in each of the last three seasons.

Senior Caroline Young added 11 points and seven rebounds in the loss.

Averett returns to action on Jan. 4 when the Cougars travel to play USA South Conference foe William Peace University.
