No. 7 EOU Women’s Hoops Downs William Jessup, 81-73

ROCKLIN, Calif. – The 7-ranked EOU women's basketball team moved to 2-0 on the young season shooting 42 percent from beyond the arc in its final game of the 11th annual Bill Holtz Classic Saturday evening inside Warrior Arena.
 
Seniors Payton Parrish and Stormee Van Belle paced the Mountaineers scoring 17 points apiece. Parrish drained five triples, while Van Belle missed out on what would've been her consecutive double-double finishing with nine boards.

Junior NAIA-All-American guard Maya Ah You-Dias added 16 points and four assists and junior guard Maren Herrud chipped in 11 points, going 3-for-5 from long range.

William Jessup (2-1) had two players score 20 + points in the evening contest. Ashlyn Jones scored a game-high 22 points and Olivia Luu added 20 points to go along with five boards and three assists.

EOU raced out to 20-11 lead in the first period after Van Belle knocked down a triple, giving her seven points alone at the 4:10 mark. The senior forward would connect on her next jumper inside the arc, bumping her total to nine, while Parrish capped off the period draining a trey to lead 27-18 after one.

Parrish continued her hot streak from deep nailing back-to-back triples to give EOU a 17 –point advantage (41-24) with 4:47 left in the second stanza. In the closing minutes, the Blue and Gold limited the Warriors to four points, while sophomore Kate Hogan scored the next four, to put EOU up 44-28 at the break.

In the third period, WU trimmed the deficit to eight points twice, going on a 20-12 spurt but it's as close as they would get, despite outscoring the Mounties 28-21.

Jones commenced the fourth period with a layup making it a seven-point contest (65-58) but over the next three minutes, Herrud drained two triples swelling the lead back to 13 (75-62). A 9-0 run by the Warriors erased that and kept the scoreboard tight at 75-71.

Already in the bonus, the Mounties iced the game going 6-for-6 from the free throw line en route to an 81-73 triumph.
