Jarvis surpasses 1,000 career points in setback to Bombers

Jarvis led the Herons with 16 points, five rebounds and two assists for her 10th game in double digits this season. With her 14th point of the day, Jarvis surpassed the 1,000-career point mark, she is just the 18th Heron to do so in program history and first since Mia Morrison did in 2019.

Junior Molly Walsh and first-year Ava Lobozzo chipped in four points each while first-year Jazzmyn Lewis grabbed three steals.

Camryn Coffey led the Bombers with 19 points and two rebounds while Annabella Yorio chipped in 14 points and eight rebounds to extend Ithaca’s win streak to five.

COACHES CORNER

“I was proud of our fight in the second quarter and early in the third,” Head Coach Lindsay Sharman said. “I thought our defense in the half court was solid but we ran out of steam and struggled to take care of the ball and rebound in the second half which really hurt us.”

UP NEXT

William Smith will be back in action Friday, Jan. 12, when it hosts Bard in a conference matchup. Liberty League action between the Herons and the Raptors is set for 5:30 p.m. in Bristol Gymnasium.
