- The Foresters (6-9) came from behind to defeat the Belles of St.
Mary's College 66-62, giving them a third place finish in the St.
Xavier University Christmas Tip-off Tournament. Huntington
struggled from the field in the first half, hitting just 9 of 30
attempts for 30%, and was fortunate to be down just six (33-27) at
the break. After taking 13 3-point shots in the opening
stanza, the Foresters decided to get more aggressive on the
offensive end and take the ball to the hole. The adjustment
paid off as Huntington went 21-25 from the charity stripe to just
4-5 for the Belles. A solid effort by the Forester defense
held St. Mary's to 1-14 shooting from behind the arc and just 29
points in the second half. Betsey Bean, who represented
Huntington on the All-Tournament team, led five players in double
figures with 15 points and seven rebounds. Jamie Grogg, Janna
Knisely, and Amy Berry each added 11 and Jessica Ramey had 10.
St. Mary's Emily Creachbaum led all scorers in the game with 16
points. In semi-final action the previous day, the Foresters
fell 74-54 to the Saints of Aquinas College. Bean, the lone
Forester to reach double digits finished the game with 12 points and
11 rebounds.
