COLUMBUS, Ohio – Those with a knowledge about how the Yellow Jackets and Crusaders play one another, a low-scoring affair is no surprise. In another chapter of this storied series, defense again reigned in The Capital Center, but it was Baldwin Wallace that came away with a 54-47 victory over Capital on Friday night.

THROUGH THREE

• A combined 16 points were scored in the first quarter, split evenly between Capital and Baldwin Wallace.
• Baldwin Wallace never broke a 30 percent success rate shooting the basketball in any of the first three quarters. Capital only marginally broke 30 percent in the third quarter (30.8%), but otherwise fell to the same fate.
• The Yellow Jackets committed 15 turnovers in the game and 12 of those came in the first half of action.
• Capital held BW to just 16 first-half points and no opposing player scored more than four points heading into halftime.
• Emma Burns led Capital with seven points through one half.
• Capital took a 20-16 lead into the long break and a two-point lead into the final quarter of play.

JACKETS HEAT UP IN THE FOURTH

• Baldwin Wallace took its first lead less than one minute in the fourth quarter after Kelsey George hit a 3-pointer to go up 34-32. Lilly Edwards then extended that lead to four after hitting a jumper following a Capital turnover.
• George hit a second triple, stemming from another Capital miscue, to extend the lead to six, 40-34, with 7:39 to go.
• Capital's Erika Linder answered with a trey of her own and was followed by driving floater by Caroline Taphorn to help the Purple and White regain the lead.
• Capital then hit an offensive drought in which it was held scoreless for 3:39 while Baldwin Wallace went on a 12-0 run to seal the game. Capital went 0-for-5 from the field and committed a pair of turnovers during that stretch.
• Baldwin Wallace shot 50 percent (8-16) in the fourth, including a 4-for-7 effort from distance. Conversely, Capital shot 38.5 percent (5-13) and just 2-for-6 from 3-point land.

BY THE NUMBERS

• Freshman Maddie Dougoud (Cincinnati, Ohio/Mercy-McAuley) put down a career-high 12 points on 4-of-9 shooting in 25 minutes off of the bench. She also chipped in six rebounds, two blocks, one steal, and one assist.
