The No. 6 nationally ranked Rams took an early lead over the York University Lions women's basketball team and didn't look back. They swept the two-game season series with a 88-47 win over York.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• Much like their Wednesday contest against York, the Rams took an early lead over York in the first quarter, outscoring them by 13, finishing the half with a 19-6 lead. Jama Bin-Edward led the way with six points on back-to-back threes in the quarter for the Rams.
• However, the game took on the same storyline as Wednesday in the second quarter – the Lions drew back into the game with eight points from Emma Jonas.
• The Rams then exploded offensively in the third, scoring 30 points to York's seven. That put the game out of reach for the Lions.

 
NOTABLE NUMBERS

• York had an easy time keeping offensive possession after shots, outrebounding the Rams 31-28 and 11-6 offensively in the game.
• The game's difference came in shooting percentage, with the Rams hitting 52.6 per cent of their shots. York hit 28.8 per cen in the contest.
• Bin-Edwards was lights out from beyond the arc for the Rams, going 7-for-9.
• Jonas went 2-for-4 for a team-high 50 per cent in the same stat line.

 
LOOKING AHEAD
 
York will look to get back into the win column for the first time since Nov. 26 when they host the Ontario Tech Ridgebacks for a quick turnaround this Wednesday. Tip is at 5:30pm at Tait McKenzie Centre.
