Houghton Women’s
Basketball Team Cruises Past Fisher
(Boston, Mass.)—The
Houghton College women’s basketball team got out to an early lead and then
cruised to a 69-27 victory over Fisher College on Saturday afternoon.
“It was a
somewhat one-sided game,” said Head Coach Skip Lord, “our youngsters got to
play a lot.” In fact, Lord said, the Highlanders dressed 13 players for the
game and each played approximately 15 minutes.
Freshman guard Stephanie Hudson led Houghton with nine
points on a perfect 3-for-3 shooting night from behind the arc. Senior
forward Ashley Scudder contributed eight rebounds, while Ashley Dupler and
Marci Jonathan gathered seven each.
The win boosts Houghton’s record to 5-3. Their next game
is Friday, January 4, at the Nielsen Center against Ohio Dominican for an
8:00 tip.
Houghton College
has deep
and
solid
roots in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, where our
teams use their commitment to excellence, both on the field-of-play
and
in the classroom, as a platform for their strong and
unique emphasis on Sports Ministry. Their goal is to make a difference
for the Kingdom
on campus, in Allegany County,
in the Northeast and
around
the world.
Houghton is one of only 13 institutions who have been hand-selected
by the NAIA to serve as "Champions of Character" Program Centers, opening the door
for Houghton to be a leader,
both in the Northeast and
nationally, in character education.
Through hands-on,
innovative community outreach initiatives, Houghton coaches and
student-athletes
are working together to change the culture of sport and
to change our culture through sport.
