MOUNT VERNON, Ga. – The William Carey Women's Basketball Team showed no signs of rust after two weeks off, cruising to a 75-44 victory over Brewton-Parker College Saturday afternoon.
"We had a solid game today," said Head Coach Tracy English. "We played well on defense, and I thought Jenna got us going early on the offensive end which allowed us to get into an early rhythm."
The Lady Crusaders set the tone early, shooting 50% from the floor in the first quarter while the defense held the Lady Barons to just 16%, leading to a 19-11 advantage. The game started with both teams trading shots. With Carey holding an 8-7 lead, a Jenna Garriga jumper with just over five minutes remaining, sparked an 11-4 run to close out the quarter.
After an opening basket by Brewton-Parker to start the second quarter, the Lady Crusader offense caught fire, as five different players combined for a 19-4 run, capped by a McKalea Randall three pointer to make it 36-17 WCU with four minutes left. The final minutes of the quarter saw the Carey offense go cold, but the defense continued their strong play, holding the Lady Barons to just six points.
The third quarter saw even exchange between both teams with Brewton-Parker unable to make up any ground, leading to a 54-37 lead for the Lady Crusaders. Madelyn Ladner, Rose Warren, Blakeney, and Shaneal Corpuz combined for nine points to open the fourth and the WCU offense was off to the races.
Carey went on to outscore the Lady Barons 21-7 in the quarter on 10-19 shooting while the defense forced seven turnovers with four of them coming off steals. For the game, the Lady Crusaders shot over 50% from the floor while limiting BPC to just 28% and out rebounded the Lady Barons 40-27.
Kolten Blakeney led the offense with 20 points and 14 rebounds. Shaneal Corpuz also finished with a double double with ten points and ten rebounds with Rose Warren adding eleven points.
Carey is back in action Monday, January 27, as they head to Cochran, Ga. to take on Middle Georgia State. Play is set to begin at 1:00 pm.
