BOSTON, Mass. (November 7, 2026) – Emerson College connected on 52.2-percent of its shots from the floor in the second and pulled away for a 63-42 victory over Elmira College in a non-conference women's basketball matchup on Hank Smith Court at Bobbi Brown and Steven Plofker Gymasium tonight.
Junior Jessie Silk led Emerson in scoring for the second-straight night, sharing the duties with first year Beya Chase, with 18 points apiece. Silk also totaled six rebounds, three steals and two assists, while Chase made 6-of-9 shots off the bench, converting 5-of-6 free-throws, for her season-high 18 for the Lions. Junior Addie Meyer posted her first double-double for Emerson with season-high totals of 13 points and rebounds, adding five steals.
Senior Haley Mosch and juniors Hannah Nichols and Kylie Hook all netted a team-high eight points for Elmira who was never able to overcome 1-of-11 shooting from the floor in the first quarter. Mosch also grabbed five rebounds for the Soaring Eagles, while Nichols chipped in three steals.
Emerson never trailed for the second-straight night, stretching its lead into double figures for the first time (23-10) with 3:38 remaining in the first half after a Silk three and Chase layup. The Lions took a 15-point margin (29-14) into halftime and quickly extended to 22 (36-14) less than three minutes into the third quarter, sparked by a three-pointer from junior Lindsay Gould.
Emerson's lead grew to 23 (43-20) with a Chase triple with two minutes to go in a third quarter that the Lions made 6-of-10 shots (60%). Elmira trimmed its deficit to 13 (44-31) after a Nichols three two and a half minutes into the fourth quarter and was within 12 (47-35) following two Ryan free-throws midway through the frame, but could get no closer. Emerson pulled away again down the stretch, restoring the 20-point cushion (57-37) after a Chase layup who scored eight of her season-best 18 in the final frame.
