Tessa Sikora scored 18 points to help the Lady Greyhounds post their first victory of the season in the nonconference contest.

Carly Christofferson added 13 more points for Wilmington (1-4), followed by Hannah Drake with 11.

Laurel (1-5) got 11 points from Kristin Dicks and 10 from Maddison Deinert.

Laurel carried a 29-27 lead into the fourth quarter, but was outscored 24-14 in the final frame. Wilmington, which was 23 of 37 from the foul line, tallied 14 of its fourth-period points from the charity stripe.

Laurel, meanwhile, was just 7 of 12 from the line overall.

“It wasn’t a physical game, and it wasn’t a poorly called game,” Laurel head coach Jessica Shevitz said. “We can’t blame it on the officials. It was just youthful mistakes on our part.

“We’re young — I’m still missing two starters — and we have no seniors. We were up by six somewhere in the fourth quarter, but this is like the third time this season we let a fourth-quarter lead slip away. It’s just inexperience on our part.”
