Earl Scores Career-High 27 in Loss to William Smith

Potsdam, NY – Junior Hannah Earl scored a career-high 27 points, but her offensive display wasn't enough as the Clarkson University Women's Basketball team dropped a 63-55 decision to William Smith in Liberty League action Friday night at Alumni Gymnasium.

The Golden Knights fell to 6-8 on the season and 2-6 in conference games while William Smith improved to 9-6 and 5-3. Clarkson hosts RIT on Saturday afternoon, while the Herons take on St. Lawrence.

Earl's previous career-high in points was 17, established two weeks ago against Bard College. She shot 9-for-16 overall and 5-for-10 from beyond the 3-point arc.

The two teams started off slow with neither producing any points until more than two minutes had expired, but both made up for lost time by making three 3-poiners apiece over the final six-plus minutes. The teams exchanged the lead a few times at the start of the second quarter and William Smith pushed its advantage to four points (21-17) after a layup by Olivia Parisi at the 5:10 mark. A little over 90 seconds later, Clarkson was able to pick up five points as Hannah Earl hit a 3-pointer at the 3:32 mark and the Herons committed a foul off the ball. Earl was awarded the free throws on the fifth William Smith team foul and made both to put Clarkson up by one. That was the end of the scoring for the Knights, however, as William Smith ended the half on an 8-0 run, capped off by a 3-pointer by Annaliese Schreder with 16 seconds to go.

Earl finished with 12 first-half points, shooting 4-for-7 from the floor for the Knights, while Stavriana Dimitrakopoulou scored 11 points and snagged seven rebounds for the Herons. William Smith changed the scope of the half by shooting 6-for-13 in the second quarter and holding Clarkson to just a 3-for-17 effort.  

The third quarter opened up with a 3-pointer by Dimitrakopoulou and the Herons pushed the margin to 13 points just a few moments later (37-24). Two 3-pointers by Earl helped the Knights get back to within six and a quick jumper from Emma Buonanno pulled Clarkson to within four points (42-38). That was as narrow as the margin would get, though, as the Herons tallied the last four of the quarter.

In the fourth, the margin bounced back and forth from single digits to double figures with neither team backing down. Down by 11 with less than 90 seconds to go, Earl hit a 3-pointer and Buonanno sliced through the defense for a layup to get Clarkson back to six, but late free throws assured William Smith of a comfortable margin of victory.

Besides Earl's effort, Rachel Marion chipped in 14 points and nine rebounds for the Knights, while Buonanno had eight points and eight boards. For William Smith, Dimitrakopoulou finished with 19 points and nine boards while Stella Davis tossed in 13 points. Olivia Parisi also had a double-double on 11 points and 11 rebounds and Lauren DeVaney scored 11 points to go along with eight rebounds in 20 minutes off the bench.
