DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Four Bethune-Cookman players scored in double figures as the Lady Wildcats raced to a season-high 88 points in Tuesday evening's 88-46 win over Edward Waters at historic Richard V. Moore Gymnasium.
The Lady Wildcats (3-5) scored 11 seconds into the contest to spark a 13-2 run over the first two minutes of competition, aided in large part by coupling a heavy press with B-CU's athleticism over the smaller Tigers from Edward Waters College (4-4).
It most definitely paid off for the Lady Wildcats as they quickly built a lead. B-CU let off the gas at times, surrendering too many turnovers, but bounced back with scoring runs of 12-2 and 6-2 to lead by 20 points at the half.
Taking advantage of the lead, B-CU rotated lineups heavily and spread the minutes around throughout the game, with only one player, center Amanda Hairston, earning over 20 minutes on the floor.
At the heart of B-CU's scoring was junior guard Chastity René Taylor. Despite playing just 20 minutes on the night, Taylor led B-CU in scoring, putting up 18 points on 8-of-10 shooting, including hitting 2-of-3 from long range.
Tying her career high, Jasmine Evans joined Taylor in double figures with 12 points, sharing the team high with Amanda Hairston for rebounds (8) against EWC. Hairston also logged double figures, hitting 5-of-6 shots for 10 points, in addition to a pair of blocks and a steal. Terrenisha Hollis rounded out the group with 10 points, a stalwart on the defensive end, coming away with a career-high five steals.
