Women’s basketball remains unbeaten at home after well rounded team play beat Oregon Tech 59-50.
Oregon Tech came into the game with five wins. Their talent showed through their statistics, where they were able to keep up with Western in terms of forcing turnovers. They were able to
take better advantage of these turnovers, as they outscored the Wolves 11-15 on points off turnovers.
They also took more shots than Western, and at one point in the third quarter lead by ten points.
Ultimately, good ball distribution helped the Wolves team overcome the Owls.
Jasmine Miller, junior forward, and Kaylie Boschma, sophomore guard, each scored 10 points to lead the team on scoring.
Sydney Azorr, junior guard, was close behind coming off the bench, with nine points of her own. The Western bench contributed 25 points while Oregon Tech’s bench could only put up eleven.
Prior to hosting Oregon Tech, the Wolves traveled to Chico, California for the Coslet Classic where they suffered their first two losses of the season.
Shelby Snook, junior guard, put up 34 points over the two games. Jasmine Miller scored 29 in the tournament, including a career-best 19 points against the host team Chico State.
The Chico State game came down the buzzer when Snook attempted a three point basket that would have sent the game to overtime. Instead the ball bounced off the rim and Chico State took the victory, 67-70.
The team are at home for the rest of term, where they will open conference play. They host Seattle Pacific on Dec. 1 and St. Martin’s on Dec. 3.
