The Master’s University women’s basketball team’s fantastic 2016-17 campaign continued Thursday evening by beating Hope International University 61-49.
Thursday’s win improved No. 21 TMU’s overall record to 17-6 (7-5 GSAC).
“It took a little while to find our footing tonight, but our defense in both the second and third quarter was fantastic,” commented TMU head coach Dan Waldeck. “We didn’t finish the game the way we wanted to, but overall it was a great team win.”
After trailing the Royals 15-12 at the end of the first frame, TMU came alive by outscoring HIU 21-7 in second quarter and 12-3 in the third stanza. However, the Royals attempted a comeback in the fourth quarter by outscoring the Lady Mustangs 24-16. Fortunately, TMU fended off the Royals’ resurging offense and sealed its seventeenth win of the season.
Freshman standout Hannah Ostrom led all scorers with 11 points after going 4-11 from the field and 3-7 from behind the arc. Ostrom also posted a team-leading six steals. Bianca Cubello had a balanced performance by posting nine points and grabbing an evening-high 11 boards. Notably, Megan Lindsley and Sabrina Thompson each produced five assists.
As a team, the Lady Mustangs went 24-64 (37%) from the field, 6-23 (26%) on three-pointers, and 7-10 (70%) on free throws.
On Saturday, TMU will kick off a three-game home stint with a 2:00 p.m. matinee against Arizona Christian University.
