Highlanders
Control Mustangs for an Easy Win
Box Score
Cleveland, OH –
The
Women’s basketball team had no problem controlling the game against Myers
University in a 66-20 win. The women overpowered the Mustangs stepping up the
defensive effort tonight resulting in easy points at the other end.
The
Highlanders capitalized on many mistakes the Mustangs made scoring 35 points off
of turnovers, 16 points off of second chances that Myers failed to rebound. The
Highlander bench also chipped in with 27 points.
Leah French
(Fr. Owego, NY)
led Houghton with 13 points, 5 rebounds, 5 steals. Following her was
Ashley Scudder (Jr. Fredonia, NY) who
earned 10 points for the night.
All
nine Highlanders each played an average of 15 minutes. “I was able to rest my
players for tomorrow’s AMC North divisional match-up versus Notre Dame,” said
Lord. “The win tonight was definitely a result of a balanced team effort,
taking care of the ball, and good shooting. I am pleased with the win and how
we were able to prepare for tomorrow’s game tonight.”
The
Highlanders are now 8-9 overall and 3-4 in the AMC North Division. Houghton will
look to improve both of their records tomorrow Saturday, January 27th,
when they challenge Notre Dame College at 5:30 PM.
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.
