Cincinnati, OH----The Asbury College women's basketball team won on the road for the first time Thursday January 29 at Cincinnati Christian 75-68.  Asbury snapped a four game losing streak in the process.  It was their first win since defeating CCU at home back on January 10.

Asbury (7-14) was led by freshmen Courtney Albin's 27 points on 10-of-17 shooting.  Albin was two points off her career high of 29 set against Hanover College back on November 21st.  On Thursday Albin knocked down five-of-seven from the foul line and also hit two three-pointers.  She would fill out her stat line with five rebounds, three assists, and four steals in 35 minutes.

Fellow freshmen Christy Gemmell would add 14 points off the bench on four-of-six shooting.  Gemmell would get to the line nine times and sink six attempts.  Senior Anna Stephenson joined them in double figures with 13 points, bringing her career total to 948.  Stephenson will become the  sixth Eagle with 1,000 points when she finally reaches the mark.  Against CCU Stephenson added nine rebounds and four blocks.  Stephenson needs only three more blocks to be the all-time school leader.
