MADISON, N.J. – Senior guard Joey Meyers poured in 29 points, but the Drew University women's basketball team saw its school-record-tying 10-game winning streak come to an end at the hands of undefeated and fourth-ranked University of Scranton, 63-50, in Landmark Conference action Wednesday evening in Baldwin Gym.
 
The two sides entered the night with a combined record of 29-1, and both teams were tied for first place in the Landmark Conference at 4-0 before the game.
 
Meyers, who shot 11-for-20 for the night, posted the third-highest scoring total of her career while also grabbing nine rebounds.
 
Junior forward Jamie Struble added eight points and five rebounds for the Rangers (14-2, 4-1 LC) while senior guard Gwen Alberici contributed seven assists and four steals.
 
Maddy Ryan paced the Royals (16-0, 5-0 LC) with 19 points while Kaci Kranson notched 13 points and 12 rebounds.
 
Meyers made her first three shots of the game, scoring Drew's first six points as the Rangers led 6-3 in the early going. But that's when Scranton used an 11-2 run to go up 14-8, and the Royals led 16-9 at the end of the first quarter.
 
Scranton extended its lead to 15 with 3:16 remaining in the first half. But the Rangers found a spark when senior guard Katrina Wojtowicz and Meyers nailed back-to-back 3-pointers in the closing minute to draw to within singles digits (28-19) at the half.
 
Drew continued to chip away in the third quarter and pulled to within six when junior center Gracie Hezel found Struble open under the basket for a lay-up to make it 32-26 with 6:27 left. The Rangers pulled to within six on two more occasions, the last coming on a bucket from Meyers with 3:33 left in the third quarter that made it 36-30. However, Scranton answered with the next six points and led 44-34 heading into the fourth quarter.
 
The Royals opened the final period on a 9-2 road to open up a 17-point lead. They still led by 16 with 3:08 left, but the Rangers refused to go away, as Meyers scored five straight points on a fast-break lay-up and 3-pointer to draw to within 11 with 2:03 left. But Scranton stemmed the rally by scoring the next four points.
 
Meyers tacked on five more points in the final minute and ended up scoring 13 of her team's 16 points for the quarter.
