WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - The No. 3/8 Amherst College women's basketball team grabbed a 12-point lead at halftime en route to a 65-51 win over No. 17/23 Williams College Wednesday night to complete the two-game series sweep of the Ephs.

The Jeffs handed its archrival a 77-51 defeat on Jan. 10 in LeFrak Gymnasium and improved to 16-1 overall following Wednesday's non-conference matchup. With the loss, Williams has now dropped three of its last five to fall to 14-4 overall.

Four players scored in double-figures for Amherst with Jaimie Renner '17 leading the way. The sophomore scored a season- and game-high 19 points and dished out a game-high four assists. Meredith Doswell '17 recorded her first double-double of the season with a career-high 11 rebounds while adding 10 points and two assists. Megan Robertson '15 recorded 14 points and six boards, and Hannah Peterson '17 tallied 11 points.

The Ephs were led by Oge Uwanaka with 13 points, seven rebounds and two steals. Joining her in double-figures were Devon Caveney and Ellen Cook with 11 and 10, respectively. Caveney also grabbed seven boards and recorded two steals.

Katie Litman scored the Ephs first four points to give the home team a 4-3 lead within the first 2:45 to play, but a three-pointer by Peterson on Amherst's next possession put the Jeffs ahead at the 15:38 mark as they never looked back.

Trailing by seven, a lay-up by Caveney cut the deficit to five in the closing minutes but a lay-up by Robertson at the 1:49 mark sparked a 9-0 Amherst run as they went ahead by 14. A jumper by Macdonald snapped the streak with 18 seconds to play, but the Jeffs took a 26-14 advantage into the break.

Williams rallied early in the second half and outscored the Jeffs, 11-2, within the first 5:36 to play as they trailed by three, 28-25. It remained a single-digit margin for much of the period until a jumper by Robertson put the visitor's back up by 10 with 8:49 to play in regulation.

Later in the half, with 2:22 remaining, the Ephs cut the lead to nine following a lay-up by Amanni Fernandez, but the Jeffs scored the next four points to go back up by 13. The visitors went 6-for-7 from the free throw line in the final minute to seal the 65-51 win.

Amherst is back in action Saturday, Jan. 24 and will head to Trinity for a 3 p.m. contest.
