Skyhawks Women's Basketball Falls to Griffins on the Road

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The Fort Lewis College women's basketball team wrapped up the road trip on Saturday night, falling by a final score of 77-46 to Westminster College in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play. Fort Lewis falls to 2-16 overall and 1-11 in the RMAC while Westminster College improves to 11-5, 10-2 RMAC.

Fort Lewis shot 31.1 percent (19-of-61) from the field compare to 53.2 percent (33-of-62) for Westminster. The Skyhawks shot 18.8 percent (3-of-16) from three versus 32.0 percent (8-of-25) for the Griffins. The Griffins held a 47-26 advantage in rebounds. Redshirt senior Sydney Candelaria paced the team with 17 points to go along with three rebounds. Redshirt sophomore Kelsey Sorenson followed with 11 points and three rebounds. 

The Griffins saw an early lead, going up by eight points before a three-point play from Sorenson saw the score at 12-7. From there, Westminster exploded for a 9-0 scoring run which extended the lead to 21-7 with 1:44 remaining in the first quarter. Sorenson chipped in another three points down the stretch, but the Skyhawks trailed 22-10 heading into the second quarter. 

The second quarter featured sharp shooting from the perimeter as the home team extended the lead to 24 points on another scoring run. It would be Sorenson again, this time driving for a layup to slow the building momentum with seven minutes to play. Freshman Piper Terry notched her first points of the day at the 4:44 mark, but the Fort Lewis offense went quiet for the remained of the half, being outscored 22-5 in the second quarter for a 44-15 score. 

Candelaria started to heat up after a slow start, dropping in four points to cut into the sizable deficit to start the third quarter. Redshirt freshman Ava Strange found her groove midway through the quarter, nailing a three and following it up with back-to-back layups for a 58-28 score. The teams traded points down the stretch, but a pair of threes for the Griffins had the score at 66-32 after three quarters of play. 

The Skyhawks wouldn't score until the clock hit seven minutes in the fourth, this time the basket came courtesy of redshirt freshman Iva Drobnjak to move the score to 73-34. Fort Lewis would go on a 10-2 scoring run over the ensuing six minutes to push the score to 75-44, but the late effort wouldn't be enough as the team fell by a final score of 77-46.

Fort Lewis (2-16, 1-11 RMAC) is back home next week for a Friday and Saturday slate with New Mexico Highlands University and the University of Colorado Colorado Springs.
