Odom Leads Tigers in Thrashing of Centenary

Sophomore guard Jade Odom scored 19 points to lead six Tigers in double figures as the Colorado College women's basketball team rolled to a 94-66 victory over Centenary College Friday night at Reid Arena.
 
Odom, who went 7-for-19 from the floor, including all three of her shots from behind the arc, reached double figures for the fourth game in a row and the ninth time this season.
 
Freshman Izzy Strigel added 16 points on 6-of-8 shooting for CC, which improved to 5-1 in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference and 8-6 overall.
 
Centenary grabbed an early 8-0 lead as Colorado College misfired on its first five shots and committed a pair of turnovers before senior guard Casey Torbet scored 3:06 into the contest.
 
A jumper by Savanah Doty put the Ladies ahead 15-7, but CC rattled off the next 11 points. Consecutive three-pointers by McKenzee Gertz and Odom evened the game at 15-all, then an old fashioned three-point play by Jordan Meltzer put the Tigers ahead for good and they led by a 26-17 at the end of the first quarter.
 
The Tigers kept the momentum going in the second quarter, outscoring Centenary, 21-8. The Ladies' Jasmine Morris was ejected from the game with 4:49 remaining in the frame due to a Flagrant 2 foul call. Morris fouled Meltzer on a layup attempt, and then was called for stepping on her underneath the basket. Torbet made the two free throws for the technical foul and Meltzer made both of hers for a 38-24 advantage.
 
The Tigers blew the game open in the third quarter with a 32-16 advantage and head coach Katherine Menendez sat her starters for the final 15 minutes of the contest.
 
With the victory, the Tigers have won five of its first six league games for the first time in 12 seasons as a member of the SCAC.
 
Colorado College's current four-game conference winning streak matches the program's longest, which was first set during the 2011-12 campaign.
 
Torbet added 12 points, five assists and four steals for the Tigers, while Gertz and Meltzer each finished with 10.
 
Julie Moore matched her career high with eight rebounds and her season high with six points.
  
CC and Centenary will meet for the second time on Friday, Feb. 8, in Shreveport, La.
 
Colorado College plays host to Austin College on Saturday at 5:30 p.m.
