Gresko's 18 can't overcome WashU in women's UAA action

Judges fall to Bears, 83-48

WALTHAM, Mass. – Brandeis University junior Caitlin Gresko (Howell, N.J./Howell) scored in double figures for the fifth straight game, finishing two shy of her career-best with 18 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome a potent Washington University offense that saw five players score 10 or more points in an 83-48 University Athletic Association victory today.
