CLEVELAND, Ohio – Brandeis University women's basketball senior forward Emma Reavis (Miami, Okla./Deerfield Academy) registered her second double-double of the season with 15 points and 11 rebounds, but it wasn't enough as the Judges dropped an 86-67 decision at Case Western Reserve University to start the second half of the University Athletic Association season tonight.
