LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – This week, three of the eight Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference women’s basketball teams were in action.
Centenary College
The Ladies went 0-2 on the weekend, beginning with a 83-59
loss to LSU-Alexandria before falling to Division I McNeese State,
86-35. Sophomore Haley Deshautelle paced the Ladies with 17 points
in the loss to LSU-A. The point total is a season-high for the
Santa Monica, Calif., native and one off her career-high set last
season against LaGrange on Nov. 23. It marks her first contest this
season in double figures. Rebecca Thompson added 15 points for the
Ladies. Against the Cowgirls, Centenary was led by
Briana Edwards and Haley Deshautelle. The duo each scored a
team-best seven points in the outing while Edwards grabbed a
team-leading 10 rebounds in the contest. The 10 boards marks the
third outing this season with double-digit rebounds for the
Shreveport, La., native. Centenary returns to action on
Tuesday, Dec. 30 as they host Hendrix College.
Southwestern University
The Pirates picked up a win over the weekend, defeating
Hardin-Simmons 75-68 on the road for their second victory of the
year. Jordan Owens had 17 points to lead
Southwestern and Annie Bourne had 13 points
and 12 rebounds. Valerie Logan had 14 points
and seven assists. Southwestern outrebounded the
Cowgirls 41-31 and shot 48.3 percent in the game, leading by as
many as 16 points in the game. The Pirates remain on the
road to face Rust College on Wednesday.
Texas Lutheran University
The Bulldogs fell to Division I foe Incarnate Word in San Antonio
this past Wednesday, 62-41. Taylor Dydalewicz and Katie Moore each
led the way offensively with nine points while Karisa Cantu added
seven points. Dydalewicz added five rebounds while Cantu had five
assists in the outing. The Bulldogs used the free throw
stripe to stay in it in the first half, making 11-of-15 and
overcoming 4-of-22 shooting from the field. That
production from the charity stripe dried up in the second half, as
the Bulldogs went without a free throw for the final 20
minutes. TLU is back in action on Thursday,
Dec. 18 when they play host to Manchester
University.
