Richardson Reaches 1000 Career Points, Duke Rolls Past Pittsburgh

DURHAM, N.C. – Reigan Richardson scored her 1,000th career point, finishing the afternoon with 13 points to lead the 14th-ranked Blue Devils to a commanding, 69-31, victory over Pittsburgh in ACC women’s basketball action Sunday afternoon.Defensively, Duke (12-3, 3-0) held Pittsburgh (8-8, 0-3) to single digits in each of the first three quarters while forcing the Panthers into 29 turnovers.To stay up to date with Duke women’s basketball, follow the team on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook and subscribe to the YouTube channel by searching “DukeWBB.”Richardson, in her third season at Duke, has amassed 832 points as a Blue Devil and 1,002 for her career. She added three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes of action. Delaney Thomas contributed 10 points and six rebounds, finishing the day a perfect 5-for-5 from the floor.

  • Following a back-and-forth start to the game, Duke closed on an 11-0 run and held a 20-9 advantage after 10 minutes of play. Senior Reigan Richardson paced six Blue Devils with eight first quarter points.
  • Defense continued to be the story as Duke held Pittsburgh to just six points and 18% (2-of-11) shooting from the field in the second quarter, holding Pitt without a field goal for the final three minutes of the frame. The Blue Devils also tallied five steals and a pair of blocks while forcing 10 Panther turnovers.
  • The Blue Devils shared the wealth offensively during the frame with seven different scorers. At the break, Duke’s lead stood at 38-15.
  • A 9-0 run to jumpstart the third pushed the Duke advantage to 32. The spurt featured baskets from Jadyn Donovan, Taina Mair, Thomas and Richardson, as Duke saw its lead rise to 47-15, with 6:28 to play.
  • Richardson’s bucket at the 8:53 mark of the quarter was especially noteworthy as the senior cashed in a pull-up jumper to net her 1000th career point.
  • Thomas also got going in the quarter, scoring six of her 10 points while shooting 100% from the floor (3-of-3). Duke closed the third frame with a 53-21 lead.
  • Duke stayed steady in the fourth, stretching its lead to 39 points at the six-minute mark. Jordan Wood finished the period with seven points.
  • Defensively, the Blue Devils held Pitt to 24-percent shooting, including 13 percent from distance. The Blue Devils registered 29 points off turnovers and outrebounded the Panthers 41-29.

 
NOTES:

  • Duke’s defense was stellar on Sunday, holding Pittsburgh to 31 points on 24.4% shooting – both season lows for the Panthers, while also forcing 29 turnovers. The Blue Devils also racked up 14 steals and matched a season high with eight rejections.
  • Duke held Pittsburgh well below its respective season averages in points, field goal percentage and rebounding.
  • The Blue Devils limited Pitt to single digit points in each of the first three quarters. For the year, Duke has held its opponents to single digits in 13 quarters.
  • The Panthers’ point total (15) and field goal percentage (22.2%) in the first half marked season lows by a Duke opponent. Pitt’s six third-quarter points also tied for fewest by a Blue Devil foe this season.
  • Offensively, Duke dropped 18 assists on 26 buckets en route to shooting 45.6% from the field. Duke also knocked down eight triples and sank nine at the charity stripe.
  • The sophomore class had their hands all over the game with the quartet of Jadyn Donovan, Oluchi Okananwa, Delaney Thomas and Jordan Wood combining for 34 points, 25 rebounds, six steals and six blocks.
  • Duke finished the game with a plus-13 margin (41-28) on the boards, including a 15-9 edge on the offensive glass. The Blue Devils also swept the superlative stats with double-digit margins in nearly all five categories – off the bench (24-1), off turnovers (29-7), in the paint (24-16), in transition (13-0) and second chance opportunities (16-6).
  • With her pull-up jumper from the top of the key at the 8:53 mark of the third quarter, Reigan Richardson eclipsed the 1,000 career point mark. 
  • Richardson finished the game with 13 points to post her ninth double-figure game this season, pushing her collegiate point total to 1,002. She also tallied three rebounds, two assists and two steals.
  • Delaney Thomas reached double digits for the seventh time this season and fifth time in her last seven games. She scored 10 points on a perfect 100% (5-of-5) shooting while adding six rebounds as well. Thomas is shooting 28-of-33 (85%) over her last six games.
  • Jordan Wood had her hand all over the stat sheet, turning in a strong all-around game with nine points, seven rebounds, career-high four rejections, two assists and two steals.
  • Jadyn Donovan and Taina Mair each provided strong contributions with eight points apiece. Donovan added six caroms, two dimes, two steals and a block to her statline while Mair posted three helpers and two thefts.
  • Oluchi Okananwa chipped in seven points, six rebounds and a pair of steals.

Track & Field opens indoor campaign at Winston-Salem College Kickoff

December 7, 2025

By


WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The Lenoir-Rhyne Men’s and Women’s Track & Field teams opened their indoor season at the Winston-Salem College Kickoff on Saturday,

In total three athletes hit NCAA DII provisional marks, two on the men’s side and one on the women’s. Sophomore Havyn Spain, fresh off an outdoor nationals appearance in the 400, ran a blistering 21.33 in the 200m to take fourth overall and first out of all DII finishers. His time is the third fasted time in DII this year and doubles as the third fastest indoor 200m time in program history. Fellow sophomore Antonyio Davis set a new personal best in the 60m with a time of 8.13, which ranks 17th in DII and third all-time in program history. 

Competing for the first time in a Bear uniform, junior transfer Mackenzie Pringle has already stamped her name in the Bear record books. Her triple jump mark of 11.89m (39-0.25) not only hit the NCAA DII provo mark, but also ranks second all time in Lenoir-Rhyne history. 

“I thought our kids competed really well. We had a ton of lifetime bests, and over a dozen LR Top-10 all time performances,” said Director of Track & Field Bob Braman. “Our stars really competed well. Both Sharonda Priester and Mackenzie Pringle had double Top-3 LR all-time performances, and Antonyio Davis and Havyn Spain dropped LR Top 3 all-time races. Those four led the way with performances just shy of likely national qualifying marks. Overall I’m pleased and surprised at how ready most of our athletes were for such an early meet.”

Men – Top Finishers

  • 200m Dash
  • 60m Hurdles
  • Pole Vault
  • Triple Jump

Women – Top Finishers

  • 200m Dash
  • 60m Hurdles
  • Triple Jump

Lenoir-Rhyne will be off for Christmas before returning in January to take part in the Mondo College Invitational at the JDL Fast Track on Saturday, January 17th.

No. 25 Women’s Volleyball Falls to No. 3 Texas in NCAA Second Round – Penn State

AUSTIN, Texas – No. 25 Penn State’s 45th-straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament came to an end in the second round Saturday with a 3-0 (25-16, 25-9, 25-19) loss to No. 3 Texas at Gregory Gymnasium. The Nittany Lions close the season at 19-13 overall, while the Longhorns move on with a record of 25-3.

The loss snapped Penn State’s seven-match NCAA Tournament winning streak, which included six victories on the way to last year’s national title. The Nittany Lions remain second in the nation with eight national titles, trailing only Stanford’s nine.

Kennedy Martin tallied 16 kills for Penn State and has now recorded double-digit kills for the 83rd-consecutive match when she plays at least three sets. Caroline Jurevicius finished with seven kills, while Emmi Sellman chipped in with five.

Gillian Grimes wrapped up an outstanding collegiate career with a team-high 11 digs. She leaves Penn State as a two-time All-Big Ten honoree, making the first team this season and the second team as a junior last season. She now turns her attention to the pro ranks, where she will play for the San Diego Mojo of Major League Volleyball. Grimes was recently picked by the Mojo in the third round of the MLV Draft.

Torrey Stafford led Texas to the win, hitting .556 with 21 kills. Abby Vander Wal joined her in double-digits with 10 kills, while Cari Spears was next with nine.

Penn State now holds an 11-10 lead in the all-time series with Texas. The teams are knotted at 2-2 in NCAA Tournament matchups against each other.

Saturday’s matchup featured the past three national champions as Texas won back-to-back titles in 2022 and 2023 and Penn State took home the trophy last season.

The 2025 Penn State women’s volleyball season is presented by Musselman’s.

Biwott led the Sooner men in the 5K, finishing the race in a personal-best 13:35.81 for 17th place (out of more than 200 competitors) and the second-fastest time in OU history. Ngetich crossed the line in 13:36.71, good for 19th place and the No. 4 time in OU annals. Shadrack Kiptoo (13:58.70) and Thobias Cheruiyot (14:08.93) rounded out OU’s performances for the day.
