The
NAIA Division I 8th-ranked St. Xavier Cougars (9-3)
proved too tough for the Foresters (8-5) as they ran away from HU
for the 93-65 win in the second round of the St. Xavier Christmas
tournament.
The
Foresters struggled early against St. Xavier’s full court defensive
pressure committing 20 turnovers in the first half, but a 10 for 10
effort at the foul line kept HU within nine (38-29) at the break.
In the
second half, the Foresters handled the defensive pressure better,
but the Cougars knocked down 61.3% of their field goal attempts
(19-31) to put the game out of reach.
St.
Xavier’s Kathlyn McClain topped all scorers in the game with 19
points on 5-7 shooting, including 3-4 for behind the arc. Jackie
Heine added 14 points and a game-high eight rebounds. Lauren
Davenport paced four double digit scorers for HU with 15 points.
Courtney Beerbower had 14 points, Jenna Donaldson added 13 and
Kendra Stahl finished with 10.
The
Foresters will face Spring Arbor University in the third place game
on Saturday at 5:00 p.m. CST.
