Pyle Scores Career-High 34 Points In 76-60 Win Over Judson

ELGIN, Ill. --- Jordan Pyle scored a career-high 34 points and Justene Charlesworth authored a career-best 12 rebounds to lead the University of St. Francis women's basketball team to a 76-60 Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference victory over Judson University on Saturday afternoon.

Pyle delivered her fifth double-double of the season, combining her 34 points with 10 rebounds to go along with seven assists.  She went 14-for-30 from the field with the 14 field goals tying her career best.

Alina Jahnke also recorded her first double-double as a Saint matching her ten points with ten boards.

Charlesworth finished with six points and four assists to go with her 12 rebounds.

As a team, the Saints out-boarded Judson by a 55-35 disparity with 23 rebounds coming on the offensive end.  That enabled USF to put up 21 second-chance points to Judson's nine. 

A closing 7-0 run at the end of the first quarter gave the Saints a 19-17 lead at the stop.  Another 7-0 burst in the second quarter turned a one-point game into a 30-22 lead en route to a 35-26 advantage at the half.

In the second half, USF (16-5, 11-3 CCAC) led by double figures for all but two-plus minutes.

Both teams struggled from the field shooting less than 38 percent with the Saints converting at less than 20 percent (17.9, 5-of-28) from long range for the second game in a row.  St. Francis offset those low numbers by going a season-best 13-for-14 at the line (92.9 pct.).

Audrey Quintana led Judson (4-16, 3-9) with 17 points converting a game-high five three-pointers.

Notes: Pyle's performance marked the sixth time in her career that she has reached the 30-point threshold … USF's nine turnovers were its second-lowest total of the season … The contest was the first of four straight on the road for the Saints.  They are at NCAA I Chicago State University on Tuesday at 7 pm.
