Bluffton, Ohio – Sophomore Allison Gannon had a breakout performance as a the short-handed Oberlin College women's basketball team went on the road to upend the Bluffton Beavers 68-56 on Tuesday night.

Gannon poured in a career-high 22 points to go along with a career-best 14 rebounds to notch her second-career double-double. The Shelburne, Vermont, native went 10-of-17 from the floor in 36 minutes of work.

Junior Kelly Warlich also helped the Yeowomen cause with 15 points and nine rebounds, while rookie Christina Marquette chipped in with 11 of her own. After missing all of last season with a knee injury, redshirt sophomore Lillian Jahan had the best day of her Oberlin career with nine points on 4-of-5 shooting.

The Yeowomen would grab their first double-digit lead of the game at 49-39 with 11:13 left to play when Marquette cashed in a pair of charity tosses. Just moments later an Ashley Young triple-hit would give Oberlin its largest lead of the game, pushing the score out to 57-42.

From there Bluffton would get no closer than eight points the rest of the way as Oberlin improved to 2-1 on the young season.

The Yeowomen shot 47.4-percent (27-of-57) from the field, including an impressive 44.4-percent (8-of-18) clip from beyond the arc. The Beavers checked in with a 34.4-percent success rate, connecting on 22-of-64 attempts.
