A positve outcome of the women’s basketball team’s 20-point loss to 17th-ranked Notre Dame last Saturday was the play of senior forward Kieraah Marlow. Marlow went 13-22 from the field and sank 8 of 9 free throws to amass 34 points in all, a career best and team best this season. Although such an outstanding performance failed to propel GU to a much-needed first Big East victory, it did emphatically exorcise a personal demon. Marlow, who entered the season as Georgetown’s thirteenth all-time career scoring leader board, followed the worst scoring performance of her career with her best.
“Ki (Marlow) was terrific today,” Head Coach Terri Williams-Flournoy said. “She was held scoreless last time out for the first time in her career, and she took it upon herself to never let that happen again.”
In addition to the 34 points, Marlow grabbed a team-best 13 rebounds, 9 of which came on the offensive end of the court. Add her two steals and an assist for good measure, and chalk it up as the most impressive statistical performance by any Hoya hoopster, man or woman, in some time.
