WINONA LAKE, Ind. - The record book continues to be rewritten for Grace women's basketball after a 82-65 win over Taylor on Wednesday night.

During the Crossroads League clash, Maddie Ryman once again etched her name in Lancer lore as she became the first player in program history to score 2,000 career points. Ryman is the 12th player in Crossroads League to ever top 2,000 points.

Ryman's historic night included a season high 30 points as she led the Lancers to a 17-point victory over the Trojans.

Grace and Taylor traded buckets to start the game, but after four straight points from Kaylee Patton the Lancers held a 10-6 lead at the midpoint of the quarter.

Taylor pushed ahead late in the stanza but a last second layup from Peyton Murphy gave Grace a 14-13 advantage at the quarter break.

The second quarter started with a 9-3 run from the Lancers. Seven of those points came courtesy of Ryman who scored her 2,000th point during that stretch.

The second quarter saw both teams go red hot from the field, both connecting on better than 60 percent of their field goals. The Lancers took advantage of perfect shooting from the charity stripe to push their lead to nine points at the halftime intermission.

Ryman had 16 points in the first half, 14 of which came in the game's second quarter.

Morganne Houk pushed Grace lead to double digits on the Lancers' first possession of the second half and one possession later Patton converted a layup that saw the lead reach 13 points.

Over the next four minutes of action the Trojans showed their fight as they clawed back with four points at 46-42.

The Taylor run was halted by seniors Patton and Ryman who showed their veteran leadership as they scored Grace's final 10 points of the frame and sent the game into the final quarter with Grace ahead 56-45.

The Lancers used steady offense in the fourth quarter to ice the game away. All 11 players saw action while Grace shot 69 percent from the field and committed a solo turnover.

Ryman continued to be the offensive catalyst for Grace in the final frame as she added nine more points to push her total to a game high of 30 points.

Lily Moore converted a final free throw to push the final line to 82-65 in favor of Grace.

"We did a good job of playing a consistent 40 minutes today," said Grace head coach Dan Davis. "I thought we did a good job of defending and rebounding against a good team. We are going to keep trying and get a little bit better each day and look forward to heading to Goshen on Saturday."

The Lancers out shot the Trojans 53 percent to 42 percent and held a 33-28 rebound advantage.

After shooting 28 percent in the opening quarter the Lancer 58 percent or better in the final three quarters.

In addition to her game high 30 points, Ryman also added seven rebounds and four steals. Patton also had an impressive showing with 23 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

Bekah Marshall scored 12 points and Peyton Murphy grabbed 10 rebounds.

Grace will return to action on Saturday for a 1pm showdown at Goshen.
