Yandrisevits scored 10 of ESU's first 16 points to tie Simard's record and hit a jumper from the left elbow with 6:49 left in the first half to give her 1,735 points and become the all-time leading scorer in school history. She finished with 1,752 points with two games left in the regular season.

She scored 17 points in the second half, including the Warriors' last five in the final 1:10, but Cheyney's Martina Randall's layup with three seconds left gave the Wolves a 78-76 win.

Yandrisevits scored 29 points for the third time in the last five games and had her 30th career 20-point game in an ESU uniform. She also had 10 rebounds for her 10th double-double of the season and the 15th of her career, and became the sixth player in school history to go over 700 career rebounds in the first half.

Randall led Cheyney with 26 points, Lutfiyya Muhammad had 19 and Angel Stephens had 16 points and 13 rebounds. The Wolves improve to 12-10 (7-5 PSAC East), while ESU falls to 12-13 (5-7). The Warriors had won three straight games.

Yandrisevits hit two jumpers and two three-pointers in the first 7:30 and tied Simard with a three-pointer from the left corner that pulled ESU within 19-16. Her record-breaking jumper gave the Warriors a 28-27 lead.

Cheyney led 37-33 at the half but the Warriors scored seven straight points coming out of the locker room on a layup by Yandrisevits, a three-pointer by junior forward DeAnna Rayam (15 points) and a jumper by sophomore forward Rachel Grimes on an assist by Yandrisevits.

The Wolves came back with a 12-2 run to retake the lead for the remainder of the second half and were up by nine points (74-65) with 3:10 left before the Warriors rallied with nine of the next 11 points.

Yandrisevits had a defensive rebound and scored at the other end to bring ESU within three, then hit a pull-up jumper to make it a one-point game (76-75) with 40 seconds left. She was fouled while pulling down her 10th rebound of the game and made 1-of-2 at the line to force a 76-76 tie, but Randall's layup after a Cheyney timeout gave the Wolves the win.
