The Royals, picked first in the ODAC&#8217;s preseason poll, grabbed an early lead and never let it go in an 87-64 win over upstart Randolph College in Yoder Arena.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams entered the game at 5-1 overall and 2-0 in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference, but Eastern Mennonite took over sole possession of first place in the league with the win.<\/p>\n<p>EMU&#8217;s women opened the game with a three pointer from <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.emuroyals.com\/sports\/wbkb\/2013-14\/bios\/rheinheimer_jess_nq2s\">Jess Rheinheimer<\/a><\/strong> (Manheim, Pa.\/Lancaster Mennonite), but the WildCats scored back-to-back buckets for a 4-3 lead. The Royals responded with a 14-4 run over the next three minutes, zipping ahead 17-8.<\/p>\n<p>Randolph got back within five points before the women put on the defensive clamps. EMU held their visitors scoreless for a span of 4:33, tallying 14 unanswered points to blow open a 37-17 cushion with 7:29 left in the period. By halftime, the Royals led 49-31.<\/p>\n<p>The WildCats got within 15 two times midway through the second half, but the home team pushed back out to their biggest lead at 81-54 with 4:47 left to play. The teams emptied their benches from there, as EMU cruised to the 23-point win.<\/p>\n<p>Although the overall shooting percentages were close, the Royals did a ton of damage by going 7-for-17 from three point range. Randolph was just 3-15. EMU also dominated at the free throw line, going 22-29 compared to the WildCats&#8217; 9-16. The women also had a 49-40 edge in rebounding, including 18 offensive boards.<\/p>\n<p>After scoring the game&#8217;s first points, Rheinheimer led all players with 17 and added six rebounds.\u00a0 <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.emuroyals.com\/sports\/wbkb\/2013-14\/bios\/ygarza_bianca_wd51\">Bianca Ygarza<\/a><\/strong> (Conestoga, Pa.\/Penn Manor) had 15 points, six assists and six rebounds. It was the forward&#8217;s second straight game tying her career high with six handouts. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.emuroyals.com\/sports\/wbkb\/2013-14\/bios\/brown_alisa_e58f\">Alisa Brown<\/a><\/strong> (Dumfries, Va.\/Forest Park) hit three triples and added 15 points and three steals.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.emuroyals.com\/sports\/wbkb\/2013-14\/bios\/sykes_shakeerah_l7qs\">Shakeerah Sykes<\/a><\/strong> (Dumfries, Va.\/Forest Park) had 11 points. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.emuroyals.com\/sports\/wbkb\/2013-14\/bios\/baltimore_keyla_4iwx\">Keyla Baltimore<\/a><\/strong> (Bristow, Va.\/Brentsville District) did a bit of everything with eight points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.emuroyals.com\/sports\/wbkb\/2013-14\/bios\/barrett_becky_qm3k\">Becky Barrett<\/a><\/strong> (Damascus, Md.\/Damascus) was good for nine points and a game high eight rebounds.<\/p>\n<p>Brie Holden led Randolph off the bench with 11 points.
