Galanopoulos Scores Career-high 20 Points in Road Defeat

Loyola fell 71-61 at Duquesne Wednesday night

PITTSBURGH, Pa. (February 22, 2023)
 
In Short…
Sam Galanopoulos scored a career-high 20 points as Loyola drained a season-high 12 threes Wednesday night, but it wasn't enough for the Ramblers against Duquesne in a 71-61 setback at Cooper Fieldhouse. Anna Brown finished with 15 points on 4-of-8 shooting from distance while Kira Chivers tied her career-high total with 12 points.
 
How it Happened
After leading all but 59 seconds in the first half, Loyola couldn't overcome Duquesne's hot shooting in the later stages of the contest.

The Dukes used a 10-0 run in the fourth quarter, where they shot 64% in the period, to grab a nine-point lead at 65-56 with two-and-a-half minutes to play. Brown answered with her fourth made 3-pointer but it would be as close as Loyola could get in the final two minutes.
 
The Ramblers led 19-15 after the first quarter and carried the early momentum into a three-point halftime advantage at 33-30, after holding the Dukes scoreless for nearly six minutes in the second period.
 
Loyola hit three treys in each of the first three quarters, including a Maya Chandler three to even the score at 47 in the final minute of the third period. However, Duquesne found a basket with 12 seconds left to give the home team a two-point lead going to the fourth stanza.
 
Sitori Tanin put the Ramblers back in front at 50-49, and a made three by Chivers pushed Loyola ahead 56-55 with 5:51 remaining in the game. But, the Dukes responded with a quick 4-0 spurt before the media timeout, and the run continued after the stoppage to put Duquesne ahead for good.
