Lady Yotes Improve to 6-1, Stop Great Falls 66-41
CALDWELL, Idaho - Meghan Hughes led a balanced scoring attack with 13 points, as The College of Idaho extended their win streak to six with a 66-41 victory over Great Falls in the J.A. Albertson Activities Center.
The Lady Yotes (6-1) turned 34 UGF turnovers into 28 points - notching their most lopsided victory of the season.
After the Argonauts (2-6) took an early 8-6 edge on a Kyla Briese lay-up, The C of I rattled off a 12-0 run, capped by a ShaNae Horner trey, to take lead for good. A Kayla Brewer jumper, a Christon Vander Esch lay-up, a Brewer triple, and a Vander Esch runner keyed a 9-0 start to the second half, building a 38-23 lead - that would grow to as many as 26 in the win.
Horner had 12 points, four rebounds, and three steals, with Vander Esch adding 11 points, eight rebounds, and three steals. Nicole Bruce scored eight points and had a team-high ten rebounds, four blocks, and four steals.
UGF got 11 points and nine rebounds from both Jocelyn Moore and Marissa Francis, but the 46-percent three-point shooting team was held to 0-for-11 from outside the arc by the Coyotes.
The Lady Yotes return to action next weekend, hosting the Best Western Caldwell Inn and Suites Lady Yote Classic - meeting Willamette on Friday and Linfield on Saturday.
