January 18th, 2015
Junior forward Aysia Shellmire shot 50 percent from the field (7 of 14) on her way to a double-double of 20 points and 11 rebounds as #17 Westmont Women’s Basketball (16-3, 3-3 GSAC) posted a 88-76 Golden State Athletic Conference win over the Flames of Arizona Christian (4-15, 0-6).
Freshman forward Lauren McCoy also notched a double-double, recording 11 points and 10 rebounds while making five of seven attempts from the field. Senior guard Esther Lee (four of seven from three-point range) and senior guard Krissy Karr (four assists) each contributed 12 points to the Warrior cause.
Westmont never trailed in the game. Leading 8-7, Celina Gougis (7 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists) and Lee combined for back-to-back threes and Shellmire added a layup to produce an 8-0 run and a 16-7 score. The Warriors went on from there to take a 51-30 lead at halftime. Westmont led by as much as 23 in the second half (79-56) with 5:47 to play.
