RECAP: Villanova takes down Penn, 71-56
The Villanova Wildcats (5-2) handily defeated the Penn Quakers (3-7) by a final score of 71-56, this Wednesday evening.
The game started off with a barrage of connections from the Wildcats early, propelling them to an early advantage. Penn quickly settled into their rhythm and countered with a couple of quick baskets of their own, before Collin Gillespie went on his own 6-0 run to take a 12 point advantage into the halftime break. Penn would then come out of the locker room strong and connect on 7-18 shots from deep, but could not hold off the Wildcats firepower in the late stages of the game.
